Personally, I wish there were more people like the OP'er. With gas prices being so high, and only to go up more, I think more people will start commuting by bike. These people need to be educated for the safety of everyone around.

I can't talk much because I'm a noob right now and I am still learning myself. But I sit in front of the computer for most of the day so i find myself reading up on this stuff all the time. That's the age of the internet for you
