The weather has been a little too cool and rainy to ride for the past several days, which has been perfect. I tweaked my back earlier in the week, and the pain of being in the ride position would have been too much. So I have been thankful for the respite, and to use the weather as my excuse.
I have seen the chiropractor seveal times, and it is feeling better already. The weather is supposed to really improve starting Tuesday, so after my appointment on Monday I should be aces again, and ready to ride.
Since I started writing this, I have searched the web for other such sites. I was shocked to find some blogs and posts that were filled with the most vial anger, from both drivers and cyclists, that I face an interesting situation.
I had been eagerly looking forward to having my blog "discovered", and read by others. Yes, your humble writer was looking for a little fame for himself. But now I am not so sure. I mean, who wants their blog hijacked by both sides, each convinced that they are more correct than the other, and promoting violence and hatred for the other.
I started this bog to try to make sense of why some drivers have given me problems. Nothing physical, yet. Just general harassment. Sure, I have had lit cigarettes, trash, slurpees and things thrown at me while riding, but I have only had one guy steer his car at me. Funny thing about that one, it freaked out the drivers next to me more than it did me. There was one woman who did the yelling for me, and she was driving.
So, we will wait and see whether I attain fame, or the blog is taken over. In the meantime, I look forward to riding again soon.
Safe travels today.
