I have precious little, as they have all but none for me in this little town (pop 300K).

For example:

Yesterday, my kids and I were out on a ride (that turned out overly long, given the heat); we stopped for lunch, and afterwards were heading home, about 3-4 miles away. A short stretch required us to ride in the lane (as opposed to MUP or legal sidewalk -- my boy is 7, and a little skittish about cars); we were doing just fine, until the 3-way stop a block away -- some F'N IDIOT in a late-model Dodge tried to swoop us in the turn lane! I didn't give way, as we were already there at the turn, and my boy bravely didn't swerve away from the fool. Even though these newer cars are pretty well sound-insulated, I KNOW this ass heard every name I called him, I wasn't quiet.

It wouldn't have helped for me to take more lane, as he jetted over from the left-turn lane at the last second, and only chickened out of taking the right turn when he saw we weren't giving way. (I SO wanted him to roll down a window and holler........)
