An actual conversation I had with a family member on Facebook.

Her: Words can not describe how much I HATE rush hour traffic !

Me: Get a bike. You can ride right past stopped traffic.

Her: So there are good uses for those ! lol Josh, we live in a different town than where I work so I would be getting home at like 7-8pm if I could even make it home ! lol

Me: So do I. I got home at 6:30. Bike commuting is not for everyone but I am hooked.

Her: I see that ! I would try it but I don't think you can ride a bike on a hwy?

Me: Yes you can. Bikes have all the same rights as cars on roads. It is not a great idea on some roads. I ride the shoulder up hwy 81 to Kremlin. Too much traffic to ride in the regular lane. Better to be alive than right.
