Sometimes I like people who won't pass and right hook me. Sometime I wish they would pass me but I guess how are they to know I'm about to collapse going up a hill. When someoen slows behind me I try and stand to pedal a little faster to clear the upcoming turnoff for them.

Took the loong route home which involved alot of pretty long tall hills, texas wise anyways, and it was a really nice ride. Realized we have lots of blind corners and hills around here and it seems people weren't willing to pass me on them fearing what was on the other side. For being 93+ degrees it was actually pretty darn cool out.

I came in this morning at 5AM with only a single little white led forward (normal lighting elsewhere though) since my wife and I's dinotte lights are in for upgrades. It is amazing how well I know my main commuting route. I instinctively know when I need to move over and when I need to do a little bunny hop over that 4" gap that crosses the whole road. Took it a little slower since I was going by twilight but it was a really nice ride. I think in total I saw less then 20 cars in my 11 mile commute and there was only 5 cars at work when I got here in a parking lot meant for hundreds.
