Glad you put that into perspective for me K
I have cycled in Vancouver most of my life and Surrey truly is hell for me. 
Glass on all roads and bike ways.  No street cleaning like in beautiful Van. 
Like I said before DD you take too much for granted when you get it for 
free.  Not all drivers are bad but I get one per day or more and that puts a 
damper on me enjoying my much needed exercise.
Terrace comment kills me.  Surrey same thing happened to me.  Problem is 
there is a huge no. of 20 something drivers here all hotrods from hell.
I by the way have never been discourteous to drivers though I have a million 
reasons to.  I can see them treating some cyclists that way because the 
cyclists here are no better but they assume I am the same as them which is a 
joke if you have read where I have been.
And DD you always seem to take things the wrong way.  Never said a bad word 
against you only ever tried to improve your analysis of your articles or 
enlighten and you always flame me for that.  Excuse me for livin'  :-))
