Some cyclists & runners carry voice recorders to note the license plate numbers of cars that put them in danger. Many smart phones have recorders in them.

That's not a bad idea...I have a smart phone, now. If the camera loaded faster I could take photos, too.Quote:

I often have to catch the eye of the driver in the first car in the right turn lane. Even if I have the crossing sign, if one goes, they all go and I then need to wait another light cycle. Brrr! They are much more courteous when it is warm. I sometimes wonder if it is because they don't expect to see cyclists in the winter.

That probably explains a lot. And cyclists are just as bad as auto drivers if two bikes are approaching a place narrowed by snow. I try to be polite, but if there's no room it's hard sometimes.Quote:
