Pedestrians, cars, glass etc. are all part of the ride experience in my city. I was surprised recently while riding in a more rural area how annoying some drivers can be. One road that I take has an outside lane and fairly light traffic. Even with the good sized outside lane, I've been buzzed by semi trucks several times. One day I got a close pass from three different pickup trucks pulling trailered ATVs and then honked a few miles from my destination.
