I've gotten the "great lights!" comment a couple of times. One was particularly comforting because it was on a super dark street (some of the streetlights weren't working) and the driver was backing out of his driveway and yelled that he could see me and thanks for using the lights. Apparently the streetlight thing was a big concern to the residents and lots of complaints were sent to the city maintenance.

I do my best to stop at each stop sign or at the very least come to a standing stop. One driver thanked me for stopping at the signs. The stop sign stops are the toughest, especially since the rule is one foot has to touch the ground. It's difficult to restart quickly and even harder if this happens uphill. And then of course there is the anger when most of the cars I see on my route roll through the stop sign even when there is traffic at the intersection.

I'm guessing my left turn signal abilities are epic because the past several days drivers have commented on it. Not sure what I'm doing other than signalling the left turn and heading to the left part of the lane... I swear there is no bell or sparkles emanating from my arm.
