Not passing ones, but I've certainly done that when I had to and, as far as I know, there was no objection. To everything there is a season, as the New Testament and the Byrds say. The pool noodle, however, just seems like an invitation to mischief.

In case you haven't figured it out, @Velo Vol likes to try and get people to say too much.

We had a fantastic ride today. Some of the roads were a little wet from an overnight thunderstorm that came through, but the sky was clear and temps around 70, which was perfect. We had a relatively small group of 6 riders, but we mostly stayed together and had a blast. 100% fun.
I forgot to start my Strava at the start, so I turned it on at the rest stop. Does the first part of the ride count as road riding if it was not recorded on Strava? Or only if it's on a MUP??

When I was in Palm Springs a few months ago I saw a dude with a beater MTB and a pool noodle. Guess it's a thing.
Speaking of passing distance... yesterday morning I was riding along my normal loop. A Jeep with what looked like a HS kid passed me with a couple inches to spare on this quiet neighborhood road. I gestured at her but whatever, it happens all the time.
The cool thing is... the car following that Jeep (a Subaru with bike-related bumper stickers and a roof rack) gave me a ton of room and once past me, they sped up and got right on the bumper of the jeep. They started honking and then pulled up alongside the Jeep at a stop sign, heard some yelling and saw some gesturing.
Not 100% sure it was on my behalf, but I'd like to think it was. Both cars were gone before I reached them to find out.

I watched this movie and learned that you're supposed to catch a draft from passing semis.

My first PT exercise turned out to be pretty tame. Imagine standing erect and you arch your shoulders backward . . . hold for 10 secs . . . repeat 10X. That's it for the day. At this rate by the time they're done I'll be too old to play any ball sports, even Vol might be able to beat me. Might.
I like the therapist though, thoroughly explains everything that's going on and why.
