On Saturday afternoon, I drove my car to a dinner gathering of friends and it was about 35-miles away and I'd be coming home after dark so I took the Slab. There are way too many critters on the road after dusk for me to feel safe on my bike!
I was driving at the posted speed limit +5 MPH and using my Cruise Control. What always gets me is how some people seem to lack a steering wheel in their car or a brain (!) because they can catch me from way, way back, then park on my bumper while both the slow and fast lanes are open. Often times when I pull into the slow lane (staying at the same speed) to get off, they will suddenly zoom by. Why didn't they just pull over a pass me about 5-miles ago?
I live in a semi-rural area so the experience related above was not going through a large city where people often play bumper tag. End of rant.
