Best encouragement I ever got from a car...it passed me with room to spare and then the 7 year old daughter leaned out the window and shouted, "Allez! Allez! Allez!"

Of course, I was riding a mountain bike, the road was in horrible shape, there was a stiff headwind, it was cold and I was majorly bonked. But, boy did that cheer me up.

But, I suppose most of you would not encourage your children to hang out windows just to encourage a cyclist...sigh...but it worked!
