Proper lane changes.
So just need to vent about my 3 min ride home.. I was doing the speed limit go to change lanes. used turn signals shoulder checked. about 2 car lengths ahead of the guy in the target lane.. make the lane change.. the guy lays on his horn and starts yelling at me.. his wife pulls out her phone and starts "taking pictures" of my license plate. i guess everyone thinks when bikes change lanes its lane splitting.. aaaand im done Big Grin

RE: Proper lane changes.
that was my entire attitude the first 3 years I rode a bike... flip everyone off that cut me off, yelled back at people that would yell at me... I just ignore them now or give them the thumbs up. =D

Hahaha... it's always fun getting caught at the same light as those people... All of a sudden their radios are very intersting.
