Emailed to me this morning, thank you Fernando ('nandopedal' on Nomad)!



Hi David, check this guy out, the picture appears on today's edition of an Ensenada newspaper, it lists his name as Joff Summerfield from the UK and it says that he is going around the world currently in Baja, so I thought that since you have the know how maybe you want to post it in Bajanomad

=======================================================

Just did a Google search, and here is Joff's Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/joff.summerfield.9



Joff Summerfield (UK) started in May as part of his Penny farthing world tour having completed his European, New Zealand and Australian sections.

Wonderful news that you are supporting cycling along Hwy 1 David!

David K - 1-14-2015 at 11:34 AM

No, I still consider it dangerous along the 1973 designed highway where there are no shoulders. This is just Baja information I added to the photo sent to me from another Nomad. Helping Nomads is not based on political thought.

your pixels would be of better use if you explained to everyone each day, how to,
HIT THE BRAKES,
when you see a bicycle.
educate people on how to drive in a friendly way

stop this way of driving

My post might have been political had I said, "Great to see David K agrees that climate change is real. I encourage you to ride a bike instead of drive!" But I figured a savvy Nomad could read between the lines and realize David is wising up:light:
