Was glad the kid knew who Lance was... Who knows, maybe a generation is being built that will be more bike friendly.
I had that happen last year. It was just a few days after the tour was over. I had finished riding on a road bike I had. I was driving home, windows down, and bike racked up in the back of my truck. I pulled up to a light. A SUV was next to me. I could see the kids pointing at me, and finally I heard the driver say, "No I don't think that is Lance". Light turned green, and one of the kids yelled " way to go Lance". I just had to laugh.
This year, I only have one "nice motorist". I was putting along on my mtn bike. Came up to a 4 way stop. All the cars that were at the stop honked or waved me on.
