im sorry i shouldve been more clear in that a biker who doesnt just swoop in and out of traffic, leisurely ride their bike in the center of a road where the speed limit is 30 and up so you cannot get around them, or come up on the side of you and whip by with inches to spare and you having no clue they were there (motorcyclists do this as well)
a regular biker who is putting up reasonable effort to keep traffic moving and not being a dick gets full and complete respect from me.
Its also much safer to be on the sidewalk and i have never once been ticketed or even had a talking to by any person of the law.
