Hey guys! I'm a newbie! But I haven't had any bad remarks from people while riding on the road. Most people are encouraging, like mudmucker, mostly on hills when I'm obviously stuggling up in my granny gear :P The construction workers always say hello and cars generally give you plenty of room. It's the mums dropping off school kids that get to me.. but thats a whole different story, I just don't ride at those times anymore.
