I don't know about your state, but in every state I've lived in Bicyclists have the same rights to every part of the traveled lane as a motorist.
"most" people wouldnt consider passing a motorcycle on a blind curve, but a bicyclist, "MOST" people wouldn't bat an eye.
I'm sorry, as a long time cyclist I am extremely jaded at the level of narcissism and uncooperative attitudes displayed by the majority of American motorists...present company included.
Everyone STILL seems to think that he is the only person that owns the road, and the center of the universe shall revolve around each individual's personal speed.
I don't agree with cyclists using red lights to pass cars to the front of the line, however, I don't agree with car drivers getting upset over bicyclists using the traveled lane the same as a motorist, one that they have a RIGHT to use. Last I checked you needed a license to excercise a "privilege" to operate a motor vehicle, however there is no need to to get a license for a bicycle. Nor is there a license needed for a pedestrian to cross a street. You would think that the person in the vehicle capable of the highest speeds would be the one person with the most patience, but no. God forbid you lose 10 seconds on your 30 minute trip.
My thoughts exactly.
