One told me I needed to learn how to ride a bike. He was from Texas or at least the tag on his car was. Texas tagged cars are in my top three for annoying and unsafe passing of me when I'm on the Natchez Trace Parkway near where I live.
Possibly he is correct, but the way I'm doing it has worked well for over 58 years of having a bicycle.
My apologies to all the Texas members here that cycle. But that is my experience when riding a bicycle on the roads here in my state.
