Just yesterday I went out for a spin and a big dump truck slowed way down and gave me plenty of room. I wanted to stop him and say thanks. But during the ride following that several normal sized cars and small cars blew by me withoput giving me any extra room. Some quite close. I very often think if it is worth running the risk of being killed and leaving my child fatherless to go out on my bike. Drivers are that inconsiderate sometimes. Luckily I have routes that are much friendlier that I ride. The route i topok yesterday is one of the less desireable of my choices.
