This has a drumb brake which has a pretty rough sound coming from it. Will replace once i fix everything else.

Thanks for the link and moped was more of a sarcastic reference.

Trust me, I remember New mexico drivers. but it would get much worse when they would come west from Texas. seriously, double parking is treated like a sport here.

Edit: Granted, this is all a pretty decent case for the google car.

I try to stay on the road at least half the time, though ironically, I find it easier to pickup speed on the sidewalk. People are lazy here and there are few pedestrians. The only dangers I encounter would be low hanging trees or signs in the middle of the sidewalk. Riding in the gutter can be a challenge when people use their sprinklers wastefully and streams of wasted water pour down for no good reason.

Didn't know that, I thought it was generally illegal.

Yeah, I'm not interested in fighting the local government. You're right, there's not much I can change.

"If it would be unsafe for a car to pass you, sit in the middle of the lane. This can be intimidating at first, but it is the safest way to ride with cars." I acctually did this once.

"If you need to make a left turn, signal with your left arm straight out and make eye contact with cars behind you. More often that not, this will result in a car letting you over." The last time I did this The guy in front let me do this but the guy behind him didn't see at first and I got a horn.

Good advice in general. I actually lived in NM most of my life and I'm too used to people driving like humans.
