I thought this was an interesting article on USA Today.
I am just posting for your reading pleasure and I was not surprised by the feedback comments at the bottom. Most of us have been out there long enough to know many feel as if we should be cycling indoors.
At least in this case thought was given toward the cyclists by some politicians.
However, I hope that we can all do what we can when we can. In my group if someone new joins in for the day they are warned before the ride that when someone yells, "car back" that means get to a single line as quickly as possible. Those who fail to comply will not be allowed to ride with us again and we have had some that would not comply and their remaining ride with us for the day would become very miserable and not allowed to ride with us again.
My observations have been fairly positive by the drivers when they notice the group making a quick effort to help them pass. However, some drivers are just going to be ****** no matter what you do.
