First Ride of 2009

Got out for my first ride of the year. Took the mountain bike to do some recon to see how the ice was melting. Also got to try out my new lobster gloves. The gloves were very warm. The roads were mostly dry, but the drivers were bad today. In 75 minutes of riding I had two close calls.

Why do drivers that if they honk their horn, then they have free reign to pass in a no-passing zone? I am now going to ride in the middle of the lane rather than to the right, just for protection from people who pass too close.
