Maybe if you respect them, they'll reciprocate. I don't get hassled cuz
I give them reason to do so. As for drivers not sharing the road,
all I can say is that making yourself as visible as possible is the only
protection you've got, that & a loud horn. I ride with a day-glo vest
& gloves with a red flasher in back & a light in front. Why... cuz I've
bin hit 4 times starting at age 7. I wasn't hurt 3 times, but the 4th
messed me up big time, damn near died. I do everything I can think of
to prevent that happening again. That includes a pre-flight check of
tires, mirror, lights, & making sure it's all tight. When i ride I maintain
focused situational awareness. Up here a slight patch of moss or groove
in the road can dump you. I don' like having do do all these things, but
it's important to be a model for kids on bikes. I never want them to suffer
as I have.
