Perhaps a move? How about Springfield? We could use the advocacy help, and it's really a pretty good town for getting around on a bicycle. Columbia, MO is looking good there days. And Kansas City is now making a play for bicycle friendliness. Hang in there, man! Shek… Perhaps a move? How about Springfield?

Two times did an angry motorist pull over in front of me and the passenger you out to pick a fight. I did show the finger both times after being honked at and verbally abused. I am training myself on the no reaction policy but the honkings don't stop. This is on 2 miles of road between my office and apartment 95% of all trips. Is is even worth trying to change peoples attitudes? Why do I feel less and less like an advocate and more like a martyr? How do we reduce this distaste? Is it probable? I am thinking of moving to a city that has it right, like Portland of even getting the hell out of this car loving country. It is getting real gnarly here in Jacksonville.

You can get portable air horns like that for bicycles. Sounds just like a truck. Blast 'em back! :-) James… You can get portable air horns like that for bicycles. Sounds just like a truck.
