In reference to Nanci Little’s biicycle letter (BDN, Aug. 30) – she just needs to be farther north [than Presque Isle]. I ride my bike every day 18.4 miles from Cross Lake to Long Lake and no one ever is rude to me, and I’ve been doing this for four years.

Drivers wave and smile and if vehicles are coming from both directions, one will slow so I won’t have to go out onto the shoulder (as they are in rough shape).

The tractor-trailer drivers don’t leave me in a dust bowl and are just as courteous as the car drivers – and this is the way it should be.
