If you always focus on the mud, everything will appear dirty.

I think he said that too didn't he?

Earlier this week I had one of those epic multi flat days so spent a lot of time on the side of the road; in this case a gravel road. 2 cars and one (only one to pass by) bike stopped to ask if I was OK. Other cars slowed and gave me wide berth.

Yesterday’s long ride had a few stretches while one or two cars were stuck behind me on a windy road until a safe place to pass. When possible I would try to pull off to make room. We all did a good job, I think, sharing the space. One lady in a beater mini van yelled something as she passed, it probably wasn’t friendly, but I ignored her. That was one of maybe 20 cars that passed me in 54 miles. Outweighed by the 2 or 3 friendly beeps and waves as I got passed.

Today, riding around town on errands, a car went past me as I was in the bike lane, then signaled a right turn. I hesitated, expecting a cutoff, but the driver waited for me to go past. I have a wave and we both pressed on with our day.

So yeah it’s been a good one for me too

Have been opting for the bike ped trail for a good portion of my commute lately. It's nice through woods, etc. The other day a pedestrian actually thanked me for using my bell.
