It must be working because they point out my own dumb mistakes on occasion (in a kind way, not a mean way). <br /><br />Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-592665766981393622013-06-12T11:04:08.083-07:002013-06-12T11:04:08.083-07:00I am always so surprised when I hear people saying...I am always so surprised when I hear people saying really hostile things about bike-riders. Most of them obey the laws of the road and have the same rights to the roads as cars do.knittergranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160027913020949487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-87496473764977769032013-06-11T17:08:23.714-07:002013-06-11T17:08:23.714-07:00Oh, I hear you!

My son's been yelled at many times "use the crosswalk" and such, when he is actually obeying the laws by riding properly in the street and using the turn lanes. There is an old fart in our valley that has deliberately run cyclists off the road. One brave and vocal cyclist took him to court. smalltownmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857871195417461235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-55899499256186324822013-06-11T05:55:05.987-07:002013-06-11T05:55:05.987-07:00Constant source of contention in Austin, I think b...Constant source of contention in Austin, I think because there are so many cyclists. You'd think drivers would be used to them and peacefully coexist, but there are always a few jerks who don't believe bikes belong on the roads. hokgardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971689914882302078noreply@blogger.com
