I think part of it is a Maryland problem. I've been biking around here for over 30 years, and generally find Maryland drivers to be much more aggressive than DC or Virginia drivers.
But I disagree with you on the rest. To me, this seems to be a generally bike friendly area.
I enjoy both roads and trails. Admittedly, I do most of my riding on weekends, but tonight I've got no qualms about commuting home on route 29/Lee Highway.
