Chris.. My comment was not in regards to cyling on the freeways. I have a lot of libertarian values when it comes to issues such as that. I was only referring to the fact that here, it is mostly illegal.
My comment about the rudeness of freeway driving was in regards to automobiles, not bicycles. I find it a miserable experience to have to commute to work in the car on the freeways. much rather bike to work on the side roads.
Wow, image the reactions of motorists should they find a bicycle out in a center freeway lane; acting like Messengers in that instance.
