I think the stupidity goes both ways. I've seen automobile drivers be idiots and assholes around bikers and I've seen the reverse. Where I live we have bike lanes every few roads but that doesn't stop idiot bikers from riding their bike during rush hour down the busiest street in the area when the next road over has a bike lane....
The fact is that there are idiots in the world. In an ideal world drivers would be cautious with bikers but as we have established people are idiots. Therefore the best behavior is for the bikers to be extremely cautious. After all it doesn't matter whose fault it is the biker will always lose.
