I have gone into work on my bike, it's only 5 miles, so I'm not too rank when I get there..
Now that I'm 95% retired, we just ride bikes instead of walking to get some fresh air. (More fun).

It rained yesterday and today, but we just got a short break (and 20 minutes of sun) so we did a quick 5 miles.. Which is almost enough for old folks.

I've only had two of the finger to date, but yeah I just figured it was their way of letting me know they are passing until it started being the last car in a long line of cars it's like "Thanks guy"
So I was wondering if there was some sort of cue I was missing out on because I don't think I take up that much of the road.

Had a blowout today. The tire bead gave way enough to let the tube get between the tire and the rim which lead to a very load psssssss. I noticed it being out of round riding and was going to look at it tonight. The tire is toast I'll have to get another one. The good news is that it made it till I got within 20 yards of the house to let go.

I had some one yell "illegal" and stand on the horn as they floor it from 2 lanes over. Don't know if he though I was an illegal or that I was breaking the law riding on the road. Either way he was wrong on both counts

I wasn't commuting but someone leaving my neighborhood decided to run up next to me and lay on the horn today. I was riding past the entrance so they prolly thought I wasn't from around, but tomorrow I'm going to go for a spin looking for their very distinctive car so I can take the plate numbers and report them to the police,
