i'm a cyclist (haven't owned or driven a car in a few years now) and i can tell you that on the daily i get harrassed by people. not to mention, that certain spots in town where the traffic is pretty bad, signs have even been put up that read "yield to cyclist" "caution: (bicycle symbol)", etc. and no cars ever adhere to the signs. not only that, but when i have the right of way, it's all of a sudden my fault when a car is upset about my position. i'm the "cunt" who won't "get out of the fucking way". <p>
even laws are in place that require motorists to give a cyclist ___ amount of feet, the "safe distance" law. here, it's three feet... which i don't think i've <i>ever</i> experienced.
