Cycling so far

Things I have liked so far:
- the road surfaces are incredible - not a pothole to be seen in the 300+ miles travelled so far)
- drivers are courteous - I can recall hearing an irate horn blow only twice so far
- signs are reasonably good (although they tend not to go for the 'fingerposts' with miles on them )
- the long meandering roads that go for miles with little traffic - a dream for the wandering cyclist

Things I don't like
- speed on the freeways: an 18-wheeler passing at speed is scary; not far behind is a truck or RV with a long trailer.  Best to stay off these busy roads.
- large vehicles (especially those towing something much wider than the vehicle towing it - makes for a scary cyclist experience)
- open entrances (see the next blog entry)
