Thanks for the kind words, I try to be unobtrusive but sometimes fail. Some of the drivers in these parts make it tough. The occasional redneck will even take time out of his busy schedule running to the beer store for a roadside chat on traffic etiquette.

I’m sure I pay more taxes than 100% of the good old boys that flip me off and tell me to get the **** off their road and onto a bike path.

You know what? I was listening to a local talk radio show this morning during an interview with one of Portland’s city councilmen. Both of them called it bike PATHS!

Last night, I thought I was incorrect. As it turns out, we don’t have your bike paths out here. They are called hiking trails. ;o)

To the folks here...bike paths are pavement, baby! lol

In the Portland, OR metro area, they are ticked off that Minneapolis ranked # 1...beating out Portland for the first time...in bike paths. Now, even though we are going the way of CA, and are in the top 10 states expected to declare bankruptcy, we are spending 100s of millions of bucks to make new paths, and get the top spot back.

I see you are in TN. Even though you have to deal with some disrespectful people, you are very fortunate to be there, my FRiend.
