>> biking in ... texas was a wholly different experience - ... sometimes drivers get weirdly angry that bikes are on the road
How dare they have to go around a cyclist! I used to ride my bike on a new road in our city, up until it started getting more vehicle traffic. When a cement truck decided to get too close to me when stopped at a traffic light, is when I quit riding that road. I just wanted to get some exercise and make it home safely. He wanted to show me who was boss of the road. He won. I hold no illusions on who will lose that battle between me and a cement truck. I did call the Cement company but I'm sure they fist-bumped the driver when they saw him. Good job dude!
