I understand your dilemma. I think a lot of what you experience is also a
bi-product of those bicyclists who don't obey traffic laws. Who split
lanes at lights, who breeze through them, who ignore stop signs, and who
basically only obey the traffic laws when it benefits them. I for one am
all for bikers rights, but then when some idiot splits the lane on me and
blows through a light it just makes me want to honk my horn as I barley
miss them. By the way I am an avid motorcylist for the last 20 something
years.
