   I can't speak for outher commercial bicycle companies, but I know we work 
very hard to behave in a lawful manner.  It is in our best interest to do so.  
Here in Ames, we are very visible.  If people become turned-off by our 
behavior, then we'll lose customers.   

It is unfortunate that other commercial cyclists may not realize this.
