I ride my bike 5,000+ miles and year and ride responsibly, stay to the right as safety permits, commute to work 3-4 times per week 8 months of the year. 99.99% percent of the cars pass me no problem. It' one or two times per year jerk offs like you give me a hard time and won't give me an inch. You pass me on the left I'll pass you on the right. That's one of the joys of riding a bike - passing fat ass drivers while getting some exercise while they are stuck in traffic. If I ever get hit I know some damn good DC lawyers.

Yeah, but ironman, you're a good guy. You're on the road merely for the exercise. It's people with a chip on their shoulder and an attitude like olorin who give some of your people a bad name.

I'd never expect you to be a bastard. You are the epitome of good manners and a good attitude.

If you cross my lane when I'm training for speed, I hope you know a good orthopedic surgeon....

Well, Motorists shouldn't have a problem with the bicyclists who follow the rules. Bicyclists shouldn't have a problem with motorists who follow the rules and don't try to hit the cyclists. If you drive/bike sensibly there shouldn't be a problem. THe jerks-- bicyclists or motorists should be treated as aberrations, the 0.01%
