Over Thanksgiving I wasn't riding many miles because I was sick but I picked tougher miles. No honking but it was just good luck and selection of the right gaps in traffic. The three honks appeared in the first 280 out of the 1000 miles.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-56589101903465974802009-12-03T21:17:38.666-06:002009-12-03T21:17:38.666-06:003 honks in 1000 miles...

The ...3 honks in 1000 miles... I'm so envious.<br /><br />The week of Nov 16, I rode just over 100 miles. I lost count of the honks and yells—well over a dozen. Last week Mighk and I rode ~20 miles one day and got honked at a half dozen times. Four honks in less than 2 miles on a 4 lane collector road at about 2 PM.<br /><br />Not a single of the above honks were on 2 lane roads or invoved any impediment to the perpetrator. 80% of them were from motorists who were entirely unaffected by my presence.<br /><br />I think I want to move to North Texas.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617647529657485483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-22828986918205211832009-12-03T19:08:12.665-06:002009-12-03T19:08:12.665-06:00Big Oak clearly has exquisite taste in bikes.

As for his other two observations, the miles just pile up as a result of the commute, and I'll do a future post on the commonly believed myth that cycling saves CO2...Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-45991886879901266322009-12-03T15:57:37.626-06:002009-12-03T15:57:37.626-06:00First off, you made a great choice for a new bike....First off, you made a great choice for a new bike.
