First commute into work with a very chilly 47F start and it didn't warm up all that much during the day either. I got several short horn toots and each time it was with the vehicle operator leaning over and giving me a big thumbs up. Cars were friendly passing and even the most of the semis zooming by on the short stretch of 55mph road segment I was on moved over a little to put more room between me and them even though I was on a fairly decent sized shoulder and they had room to pass without changing position in their lane. Got a lot of waves and "that is so cool" or "awesome" comments from several age ranges. The youngsters were the most vocal however. :-) Took it easy since this was a new route for me and I'm still getting familiarized with the Strada. Rode with the Sinner Bikes Hood. Felt very warm and comfy despite the sharp drop in temperature from the day before. Visibility out with "Da Hood" is actually much better than my dang Chevy Equinox with the massive government mandated A pillars for "roll over protection" Frankly I could do with much less "roll over protection". Those stupid changes make outward visibility so much poorer for daily driving turning left and right that they are hazardous and require much more care to operate the vehicle safely - thank you nanny state...
