Cyclists make me feel uneasy.
Back in Europe, I got accustomed to wider sidewalks which were divided into two parts; one for the pedestrians, and one for cyclists. So, the cyclists had their own sidewalks, and kept off the roads for the most part. I saw a cyclist in regular road traffic maybe once or twice a year.
Now, here in States, or Texas anyway, it seems bicycles aren't allowed on the sidewalks, so they use the same lanes as the trucks and the SUVs. I used to love riding a bike, but haven't even seriously considered it since I found out about this.
So as someone who's not accustomed to having to watch out for cyclists except when taking a turn, I feel uneasy seeing them in traffic.
