Schwinn Varsity at Walmart

Where are you in Florida? Trust me, we have our share of folks who get aggravated at us being on the road, but I have yet to be yelled at by what I would consider a redneck. I don't get bothered much and when it does happen it is invariably by a young guy in an Accord or a Jetta with one of those fart can mufflers. I am on the west coast, Sarasota county, Venice. Not more than two weeks ago I had the redneck passenger in a white Chevy truck yell out "Why don't you ride that f---ing thing on the sidewalk!" I just smiled and waved.

Now that I commute in MTB wear I take much less grief. Sounds kind of like Florida.

I dodge good ol' boys AND silver haired Yankee retirees. Adrenaline, baby. Pure adrenaline. |

We have an interesting mix of dyed in the wool rednecks and Yankee retirees. Makes for interesting riding. I've been wolf whistled at, buzzed, cut off, tailgated, you name it. |
