A couple great commutes so far this week. For those of you commuting up north...it was 63 degrees this morning at 7:05 as I left the house in a long sleeve jersey and wind shell jacket, and SHORTS! Yeah, that's right, I wore just shorts, no tights for the ride in today!!! Man, I love living in south Florida... Also, after two weeks of riding to and from work at least 4 days a week, the trip has become common-place. I know what to expect, I know the route, people along the route and beginning to recognize me as I pass. I have one "pinch point" just a half mile from work, where the four lane with a bike lane becomes two lane, and has a curb and no sidewalk for about 150 feet, and then transitions to a paved shoulder. Today, as I reached that pinch point, and was riding on the white line next to the curb, a fellow came up in a big 'over the road' rig with a 50 foot box trailer. He saw me enter the narrow lane, and rather than try to squeeze by, grabbed a handful of brakes and down shifted, and let me get to the paved shoulder before he eased by on his way north. Darn nice of him!!!! I LOVE OKEECHOBEE!!! Nice folks who watch out for others on the road, even on a busy highway.
