I love bicycling, but I only do it on bike trails, not public roads. Bicyclists are crazy. I recall some woman thrusting her hand out to the left vertically to signal a left turn, and turning suddenly right in front of me. I was driving to the drug store to get penicillin for my daughter, and my wife was distraught with a seriously sick child. Even on my best day, that cyclist was making a dangerous and illegal maneuver. They drive on the wrong side of the street and routinely run stop signs. They run into the rear of cars at round-abouts (rotaries). They weave into traffic. They ride three abreast. I hate the bad ones.

I’m with you when it comes to riding on trails and not on the road. I’m probably not the best judge of my own riding, but I also assume that the cars do NOT see me!
