I'm proud to say I'm teachable. Today I met two drivers who had the right-of-way but were sort of giving it to me, ala my previous post. But I foxed them! I was ready to, and did, stop until they passed. Then I proceeded.

One driver illustrated the pont several have made: Cyclists as a group have a reputation as reckless scoff laws. After we passed he, in a puzzled voice, said :"I thought you wanted to turn left and I was getting out of your way".

Also had a cute encounter. I put out my arm to signal a turn. The approaching driver changed expressions; put a big smile on his face and waved. Made my day.
