The 20 mile ride

Just went on a random bike ride after work today. Changed out of my work shirt and hopped on my 9er and went on this ride : http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ca/thousand-oaks/282128201398034923

It is pretty disturbing people in cars do not look for cyclists, I had numerous people cut out and/or turn in front of me while I was in plain sight....... No wonder L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa has such a beating heart for cyclists after his encounter: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7612545

I hate to wear a helmet, but dammit, I guess I'd better start.......
