You just get off the road and salute these guys for many reasons.
How many times when approaching a tall chassis, self-propelled crop sprayer did you think "I might just be able to ride under that"?
yep, I always do what I can to not get in their way. They are busy at work, trying to feed the family, while I'm just out enjoying some recreation.

ah yes... the crop sprayers with the tall wheels so they can cruise above the corn. It's natural to wonder if you could fit under it, and when I'm riding my recumbent, I'm pretty sure I could! However, I've still got sufficient sense to know that it's not a good idea. I've got plenty of scars from stuff I thought actually was a good idea to make me steer clear of stuff that appears to be dumb. In other words, I'm smart enough to know that I'm an idiot.
