They yelled and hollered and passed as close as they could. It was unbelievable. And this was a small town, no big city.<BR/><BR/>I've recently gone car-free again, but this time I'm in a small town in Kansas. Folks here are very courtesy (mostly) around us on our bikes. They'll pull all the way into the other lane to pass (when they can). They smile and wave.<BR/><BR/>Then again, perhaps the rising gas prices might have a factor in the current niceness. Folks today are maybe starting to realize that riding a bike isn't so funny after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
