Unless my wife or daughter are in the car I drive like an a-hole. Sure, I give cyclists a wide berth, but I am constantly looking ahead to the next gap and pushing myself to get ahead. It's terrible and pointless, but the people pacing each other and driving five under the speed limit drive me nuts. The only cure for me is if I leave super early and listen to NPR the whole way in. Otherwise I just have my wife drive.

I think part of why I cycle is because I know I'm too impatient in a car. If I'm riding I won't get stuck in traffic and I can just relax. The funny thing is when I'm driving my daughter I see drivers like myself and it upsets me. Definitely something to work on.
