607 mpg

…according to this nifty bicycle MPG calculator anyway. Who needs to be bribed with a gas tax holiday when they’re getting 607 mpg?
In other news, i’m 3 for 3, getting yelled at at least one on each of my last 3 bike riding days for… apparently just existing while on the road with my bike. Saturday it was a tirade against riding two abreast when there was no bike lane whatsoever, and plenty of space to pass in the opposing lane. Wednesday i was honked at, apparently for taking the lane through a narrow stretch of road construction lasting all of 30 meters. Today, i was riding down a wide road, riding on the side after having passed some parked cars when not the first car to pass, but the second honked then flipped me off after i waved back. I was laughing and laughing when i easily caught up to the impatient jerk, stuck at a red light 2 blocks later.
