RdDezert, that's definitely true about Texans in general... the ones I have encountered anyway. But the price of parking at the university is SOOO expensive and difficulty to find and it's only 1 1/2 miles so I just couldn't see the point of driving. I just have to be very careful.

Very sad about that cyclist killed going the wrong way. Even going the right way we have to keep our eyes peeled for vehicles. My commute has confusing one-way streets and I've nearly been hit head-on a few times in my car by people going the wrong way. So far nothing close on my bike, but I still keep a look out for those wrong-way drivers. Feels like a war zone or something when I describe it!
