    My dad (who lives in Florida) recently sent that to me. He's one of those people who think cyclists should stay off the road, so he was tickled by it
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    I'm guessing it was Shark Valley, in the Fl. Everglades. I was there, and it looks exactly like that. I felt somewhat comfortable up on my bike- I didn't understand the people hiking along there!

    LOL! That's a great picture. Now I know how they're trying to keep the crocodile populations up.

    I saved it to my desktop so I could share with my family, and the title is "Louisiana traffic sign", so I'm going to go with Louisiana.

    I can't figure out why they call it Shark Valley. It's in the middle of the Everglades - no where near the ocean. I'm guessing that a million years ago, t hough, it was ocean.

    I'm 99% sure that's where the photo was taken
