bicyclists are welcome to share the road paid for by and designed for automobile operators when the road paid for by automobile operators are not using it.
If they want right of way they are welcome to pay for their own roads where they have right of way, and they can have roads designed for their low speed narrow track lifestyle.
Instead of seeing road users drivers or cyclist, I see civil people or jack@ss. RD
Nice fantasy there bub. Gonna go kill some bicycle riders then?
