The problem with bikes and cars stems from the speed of traffic flow. Roads are designed for a certain speed and traffic moves at that speed. If someone is not moving close to that speed they create a hazard. This is why there are minimum speed limits on many roads. I suspect most of the angst between bikers and vehicle drivers stem from the disparity in the speed at which they travel. It doesn't take a genius to realize a biker going 30 on a road with cars going 60 is a bad idea.
While car drivers should be more considerate and should be willing to work around bikers, bikers should also realize that they shouldn't be on those roads and should go 1 road over where the speed limit is 30. It will be safer for everyone involved.
