One guy seemed like he was coming into my lane (from the other direction) just to get me - I went through the nearest driveway. The guy had no excuse for not seeing me, my reflective helmet or my light. When there's a headlight beam on either side of my wheel, *then* I worry. The (female) occupants of another car gave me some sort of flirtatious "Hey guy!" complete with whistles. I've heard gals going crazy over guys in uniform, but just over a helmet? (I might have understood had I been wearing cycling shorts or a fancy shirt...) -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {ihnp4,allegra,ucbvax}!{amd70,decwrl,sun}!qubix!lab "When the English language gets in my way, I walk over it." - Billy Sunday
