Best we can do is lead by example, talk to people. You never know when that will help.

When I ride to work I get comments on my neon gear. "Yeah it's funny but you see me, right?" I say. If someone gets it and tells someone else "I know this gal who rides lots and she wears...."

On my ride today Maury and I turned left as we left a stop for lunch. I was waiting for traffic to clear before turning myself and a driver stopped traffic for me so I could take the left across 4 lanes of traffic.

Was he a fellow cyclist? Maybe. I waved thanks.
