I love bicycle riding. I rarely ride on streets, and then only little used side streets. I like riding on bike paths, and even there, the greatest danger is from other, careless cyclists. When I see people riding on commuter routes, numbered highways, during commuting hours, I have virtually no sympathy. They are pests and a danger to themselves and everyone else.
It is a very interesting psychological phenomenon. Bicyclists aggressively challenging cars for lane access during commuter times on busy routes. I’d make my PhD thesis topic.
