One guy told me to be careful since it is hunting season.
Many drivers seem to think of cyclists as humourless fanatics, and appreciate the ones who act otherwise. This goes both ways. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a guy riding a Moulton. I waved him through the intersection and turned right to come up alongside to compliment his bike. We had a very nice little chat. He was surprised that I knew anything about Moultons and was very pleased. it was a very nice encounter for both of us, I had never seen a Moulton in the wild before. We all have to be nice to each other, and to keep in mind that the vast majority of motorists are careful and try to be safe
