Our good neighbors on the other side of them can attest to their, uhm, peculiar habits. That said, I am going to start shining my <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/lights/983b/" rel="nofollow">Auto LED flashlight</a> around the perimeter of my vehicle at night to check for new "debris" before backing out at home or when visiting my folks (where Mom's car was broken into not long ago, with her Garmin nuvi being stolen, as well as some CDs.) Justin's a saint and took the hybrid to Discount Tire this afternoon and got us four new tires to replace the now too-frequently patched stock tires. On the way home, what did he see in the roadway we both travel almost daily? A bolt in the center of the lane... so some of this is just the fact that San Antonio clearly needs to step up its street sweeping and courtesy patrol work to keep our roadways free of debris. Makes me freak out about road cycling, more, too... puncture a tire on a road bike and you become fresh meat. :( The thought had crossed my mind, but I have a hard time ascribing that level of forethought and coordination to them.
