It’s been a great week and I’m looking forward to an even better weekend.  The weather has been nearly picture perfect here in the deep south.  The only thing is that I haven’t had time to get out and enjoy it.  The last few evenings, instead of getting on the treadmill or riding my bicycle, I’ve been sitting at my laptop either editing pictures or editing videos of the trip I took last weekend.  I had my sights on going riding this evening but I had a tire on my truck start showing some steel so once I got home I took the tire off and replaced it with the spare.  Looks like I’ll be purchasing tires this weekend.

Just heard on the news that we’ve received over ten inches of rain this month.  The normal rainfall for April is four inches.  I will have to say that it’s rained more than we’ve seen the sun. At least we haven’t seen any really bad weather.  I like to see and hear thunderstorms but I hate storms that can spawn tornadoes.

I made the mistake of opening my mouth to the mayor of my fair city.  I’m glad I like him so well otherwise I would have told him a thing or two.  We discussed the possibility of having some sort of Cycling Awareness event to help promote cycling safety as well as make the city aware of the laws that are out there that allow the cyclist to be on the roads.  I know it’s a long shot but something has got to be done to make these people aware that you can’t pass cyclist on a hill or in a curve.  I’ve even had a car try to run me off the road into some bushes the other day. After discussing this for about ten minutes or so he then preceded to tell me that this is something that I should do.

The really sad part about this is that I have no clue where to start with this.  I’m going to see if some of the local bike clubs and even bike shops in my area can give me suggestions as to how to go about doing this.  I think it would be worth it to get something done.

I got really pissed this evening while on my bike ride and I really wished more people would be more aware of the rules of the road.  I can’t believe people pass me on a hill or in a curve.  I know for a fact that these people wouldn’t pass another vehicle on a hill or in a curve.  I don’t really think they realize what danger they are putting me and or themselves in by doing so.  I really need to have my GoPro charged and ready to go so I can capture these idiots driving so dangerously.

I was thinking as I’m riding that maybe something  can be done to make people more aware of the state and local laws regarding cyclists.  I know that there are more cyclists in my community than just me.   I think I’ll call city hall tomorrow and talk to the mayor’s secretary. I know both the mayor and his secretary very well and it won’t be hard to get an audience.
