tough time of year to ride in our area. the right side of these lanes are like the moon. reg: how do you let go? I adopted to shouting the word: "hey!"

catching up to them is a completely other story. photo their plate and even if you don't, tell them you've recorded their plate and are calling it in. take out your phone and dial. right then and there. the look on their face will be priceless.

add the police office #s to your contacts for the areas you ride so you are not calling 911

as for avoiding getting buzzed - that's tough this time of year with all the cr*p on the roads. but I have found that adding a strobe to my left drop bar (in addition to the strobe on my rear rack) has proved beneficial for keeping the cagers away from me a little bit more. of course some a-holes, usually males in pick up trucks or jeeps will aim to teach you a lesson by buzzing you.

and like Jim I also nod or wave in thanks where appropriate.
