Precisely my sentiments. I admire cyclists - it's good exercise and an ecologically sound form of transportation. I give them their space and watch out for them. But that's very hard to do sometimes on some of our busier 2-lane roads with absolutely no shoulder. It's not a huge problem to me - a minor and infrequent inconvenience at most - but I worry about their safety. But the way our streets are set up in this city - a hodge-podge of newer streets, older country roads that have been gradually built around, sidewalks that run for 2 blocks and then stop, etc. - it's hard to find good places to cycle. I'd love to see things developed so alternative means of transportation were ore tenable.
