Nice commute. As I was going over the Intersate a cyclist heading the wrong way and on the sidewalk told me to get off the road. I almost laughed. It was kind of funny. I imagined the conversation we would have had if I had had time to stop.
"Dude! you shouldn't ride on the road!"
"But where should I ride?"
"On the sidewalk"
"But it's illegal in this state"
"It is?"
"Yes"
"Um..... Well the police don't give me tickets"
"Well that may be, but it is safer and quicker to be out where the cars can see you."
"Oh...... Hmmmm"

Anyway, it was a hot commute again. Funny but hot. Speaking of rain, we could use some. Get all this terrible summer heat out of here. (I love riding in rain although I get very dirty. Need to get those fenders one of these days.)
