I'm quite with you there! And I agree about the truckers being about the best, though it's the trucks which are (part of) the reason I no longer cycle-commute. Most of the ride is (was) on a two-lane highway with minimal shoulder; it's just too frightening to have a big-rig barrel on by at 55 MPH a foot or three away.
I do have to say I miss the cycle-commute... where I used to live it was faster to ride in than to drive.
Truckers the best? at what, being a-holes?
Here in North Texas easily 60 percent of the
truck drivers hog the left lane, tailgate,
and act belligerent when I attept to pass
(on a motorcycle).
