Per the LAW in every state bicycles are perfectly legal on all roads unless posted otherwise, with the same rights of use as any other vehicle. Frankly I do not give a rats rectal orifice if some car drivers do not appreciate my being there and I delay them slightly or slow down their commute by a few seconds.

It appears to me that you are trying to say that we should be off the road due to unpopularity with drivers and potentially for reasons of our own safety. My take is that drivers should learn to drive properly and not be texting, talking on their cellphones, driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs and engaging in other non driving related activities which distract them from their primary job, driving.
Go ahead and increase your carbon footprint by driving for your commute but do not try to discourage others from getting some healthy exercise while riding on the street for commuting or whatever purpose they have.
