i live in an area where traffic is the BANE of my existence. DC area is #1 in traffic congestion. Bicyclists add to it and annoy the living he!! out of me.
Living there just encourages them.
What bugs me is the social engineering aspect of it. A lot of the large metro areas pass special laws to benefit bicyclists in an effort to “get people out of their cars.” As in, “You are a bad person to want to drive a car 15 miles to work.”
Congestion is dreadful in SoCal, and people become infuriated with the bicyclists there for the same reason.
