Whenever I am driving, I enjoy seeing people out cycling regardless of whether they are zipping along at 25 mph or just cruising along taking in the scenery. I give cyclists the widest possible space when I pass and only pass when I can do so. I appreciate it when others do the same for me. The amount of effort it takes to be kind to cyclists is minimal, and so is the amount of time it takes.

I no longer ride and yes, sometime bicycles stress me but then I say to myself, "patience grasshopper".
