Guilty as charged. Here is my 2005 ZR2 Chevy Blazer.




I bought this vehicle new nearly 6 years ago. Since I like to pedal to work, it only has 19,XXX miles on it. I chose this because I really like the look of the 2 door body, with 4 wheel drive for our Illinois winters, and enough space in the enclosed back for our dog, carrying stuff, or even to sleep.

I always practice safe driving techniques and follow all traffic laws, including the speed limit. It has been almost 30 years since I've been involved in a crash or received a citation of any sort while driving. I have nothing but patience and courtesy for even the most scofflaw and/or ninja of cyclists when behind the wheel.

As a cyclist and motorist, I am still unable to determine a specific group of vehicle operators as being worse than any other. I encounter good and bad in every vehicle type, even bikes. Non-idiot SUV driver checking out.
