That's funny. On my car commute home I sometimes pass others with bikes on their cars too. I can see screaming out my window at them ON YOUR LEFT!Originally Posted by velofanat
working with geriatric population (I mean really geriatric)--> I've taught one of them on walking in a gym with the walker: "when you pass somebody slower than you, say: ' On your left'
Many of these things on this list hit home. Yesterday after my ride, I'm in the car eating a protein bar with my right hand and I come to a stop sign. "Oh crap", I think to myself. "I should have downshifted coming to the stop! It's alwasy so hard to start out from a stop sign in a big gear!" Duh! I'm in the car.

You obviously don't drive a car with a standard transmission. Originally Posted by JeniRoosen

Actually, I drive a 5 speed 900 Turbo Saab but had BF's automatic truck since my fuel pump went the way of the DoDo bird Thursday at work and had to be towed to my LCS. I usually work on my own cars but this requires dropping the tank and I'm not too sure I can do all that! Originally Posted by Grog

Yes starting in BIG gears are hard! On my list of things to do before I die is drive a semi truck - not as a profession but just to "do it"!
