Near where I work, there is a very narrow, very busy 4 lane road (2 lanes each direction). There is no shoulder and SUVs tend to take up their entire lane. I often see students riding bicycles on the road during rush hour with long lines of cars behind them. Cars will jockey aggressively to get around the cyclists. Sometimes, cyclists will jump off the road onto a sidewalk and back onto the road after passing a few cars. Others will run lights causing cars to screech to a halt. It seems very dangerous. When I bike around the area, I take side roads. I think that some roads are inappropriate for bikers, but generally I don't have a problem with bicyclists that follow traffic laws.
