Daily rides are all done from our home. We live out in a rural/agricultural area with lots of roads to ride without any worries from motorist. The motorist in our area are considerate, as are the farmers in combines and on tractors, we are very lucky in this aspect. I have 2 major thoroughfares, that have 55 mph speed limits to ride, I use caution and common sense, I have yet to be buzzed, yelled at or have something thrown at me. When we lived in town and, I commuted to college and work on my bicycle, I had many encounters with irate motorist, largely angry teenagers that were trying to impress their riders in the cars or trucks.

We do drive to organized events we do as they are fairly far from our home, not much that can be done about that.
