It squishes a lot of things. The warning to you and bikers is this: don't argue physics laws when you are so far outclassed.
Be polite and you will not get run over, and remember that if you do break the traffic laws, and I wind up with your face decorating my grill, your insurance will be paying for the cleanup.
Cycling is fun (I do it myself). I'm just not going to be a sanctimonious a$$hole about it.
