they always hear me. maybe because the volume thru my sony earbuds is so
loud i cant hear myself yelling 
seriously, i *always* follow the rules of the trail, and stay on my
right. noone should have to tell me theyre passing on my left- they
should just do it.
most people are ok about the rules, but it seems like the ones that
arent are
a)families- kids weaving all over the place
b)boyfriend/girlfriend... the girl aways have to ride next to the guy
c)testosterone-fueled packs of weenie armed lycra clad bikers
