hate is a big word, try and not use it. anyway I share the road and obey laws
just as much as cars do. and ride on a 12 inch wide area for miles maybe less but
if i'm traffic please don't kill me for it.

I think it all boils down to understanding of eachother.

just my view since my life is in the hands of whatever 2tons wants to do when
behind the wheel. even peds have issues

drive safe
Joe

In the U.S. bicyclists are supposed to obey the same speed limits as cars.
Traditionally bicycles ignore all traffic laws, including stop signs,
though, which is why so many motorists hate them.
