I love my cagers!

Lovely commute this morning. Every single car was polite and kept its distance. Even the big pick up truck waited for me to pass before leaving it's parking spot and he stayed behind me down the 25 mph street. The dodge magnum exiting the freeway didn't try to sneak in front of me at the bike path crossing either. Maybe the fog had all the drivers spooked. Maybe I looked like a ghost cyclists Either way todays bike ride goes down as the best commute in months.

Apparently, you sent all the annoying motorists my way. I was being passed a significantly closer than usual. I'm guessing everyone was impatiently heading to work to leave early on a Friday.

Still, it was a nice commute. It was very strange that my legs were fine at the end of the week. I would haul arse on the way home if it wasn't going to be close to 100F

I suppose if you worked out the averages 'cagers' are reasonable most of the time.

I pass or get passed by hundreds of cars each day and only a handful do the wrong thing. Of course when that handful provide a few close shaves, they're the ones you tend to remember.
