Congrats! It sounds like you are getting it figured out. Yes, you will have drivers honk, give looks, yell, turn unexpectedly, etc. Just be as safe and visible as you can.

I saw a little corgi dog up ahead on the side of the road. He saw me and started running in the same direction I was going but about 30 yards ahead. Then he got tired and went off the road again. I passed and he started giving chase. He seemed to be smiling the whole time. A car trying to pass honked so the dog would get out of the road. The driver slowed beside me and said, "That dog likes you!" I said, "I guess so!" and waved as he pulled away.
