I went out for a short loop at dusk. Saw a couple riding on the wrong side of the road. I looked at them while I passed, and wondered if they were tourists who didn't know the rules of the road. I stopped to make an adjustment a little bit up the road, and when I saw them coming, I pointed to the road and said you want to be on this side and the woman spoke with a clear southern New England accent, and said but the drivers can't see us because the sun is in their eyes.

I got back on my bike, wondering if I should explain why they'd be safer (like I'm sure a lot of you would have done) on the right, but decided they were adults, it's their choice. Oh well, at least I showed them by example. I went on my way.

When I circled back around, I saw them again, and they were on the right side. The man waved at me and smiled and I waved back. I was a little worried about them for the rest of my ride. They had a big hill coming up, along with the setting sun, no helmets, and no confidence. Talk about setting yourself up for disaster!
