offroaders - what shoes do you wear?

Hey, David, since you bike to work I want you to know that the permanent plates I put on my LR4 yesterday are "Share the Road" plates. I haven't done much riding the past 18 months due to minor injuries and burnout. But for a few years I was rode regularly. I still have 5 bikes but the only one that sees action these days is my mountain bike and even that is simply short rides in the hills above our house. Maybe next year. I might consider riding to work by office is 50' from my bedroom. So I guess that doesn't count. ;-)

I share your frustration with distracted drivers. So dangerous. People don't respect the potential dangers of driving a 2 ton vehicle around. And they don't respect others on the road. The worst is the danger. Then there is the annoyance of being left at a light because the guy in front of you wasn't driving, he was texting. When you get behind the wheel your sole job is to drive. Period.

I'm hoping that by the time my kids drive there will be features where I can ensure their phones can't distract them while they're driving (sending/receiving texts, calls, social media apps, etc).

As bad as teen drivers are, I can't imagine having this extra distraction while I was cutting my teeth behind the wheel, frightening.
