"On Your Left" in Everyday Life

[Andrea]

Ever been in a marching band? I still can't go into a mall and not be on my left foot on the beat of the music!

Wow, I thought I was the only person that did that!

First off, thank goodness for all of you that say "on your left"! Here in Florida it appears to be "optional". In fact the "faster" and "more serious" cyclist you are appears to make you exempt! Just last Sunday I was out on a course that is frequented by the fast (even racer typer) group. I knew they would "blow by me" and they did...and never once did one of th pelaton (it was that large) say "oh your left"....or anything.

I, too, when finishing a long bike ride or biking weekend find that I that as a passenger or driver or walker I say "slowing" , "stopping" and the "on your left", "car up", etc. It is fun! (and funny!). I think the world would be a better place on a whole if we communicated more!

On trails, I do like the "Good Morning"--is more friendly than "on your left" and as a person that get's pasted a lot...it just seems nicer!

Have a great day, everyone!

And if you come to a seam in the floor or a sidewalk, do you try to hit it with the middle of your right foot? Once in a while I catch myself doing that
