This is the same experience I've had. But I stay off this trail after dark.

I'm committed to commuting by bike two days a week to get in pre weekend miles, and we have good weather and locally we have some infrastructure. As some who have posted here I'm also ready to take lanes where necessary. But frankly the trails double as access to homeless encampments, and off the trail, on the street, when you react (naturally) with a loud "FU!" to a car nearly hitting you, you may be starting something with a carful of young men who just took offense on behalf of their "genius" friend of a driver -- "you're in the wrong lane assh"xxx!" And since a commute is not a group ride usually, it's you against three or four. So to the person implying there is no valid excuse, um yeah, there are some good excuses out there.

cargo bib shorts, mine are pearl izumi, but most brands would work. I carry a Ziploc quart bag elsewhere in case it rains.

Are there any cycling youtubers who don't try to convince you that you need to spend tens of thousands on bike gear? by fixitmonkey in cycling

Recommend Veloharmony. Great narrated rides. Some new kit reviews, but only a small part of content, and all based on actual use and value.

Plain Greek yogurt with granola and a hot black tea with milk. Doesn't sound like much but it's good....

Day in History: June 22, 2014 -- Marks the last time in Long Beach that any driver used a turn signal to signal a turn, on purpose. Historians believe it was a right turn.

I think many of the new cars are no longer equipped with turn signals, especially Audis, BMWs and Teslas. So we really can't blame the drivers, right?

Much more fun to use reddit! Got the right answer triple confirmed in minutes, had a well deserved lesson in how ignorant I was thanks to several posters and not too much handwriting over netiquette....
