I got buzzed last night on Vancouver Ave on a section where the car lane is very wide and the bike lane is a good 5 ft wide or more. I was riding right down the middle of the bike lane and a gang of about 12 chopper motorcycles passed, most of the folks o my side of the lane, with in 6".

I grabbed my metal water bottle and was about to reach it out to my left, but thought better of it. They were most likely buzzed themselves, and would love to stop and beat up on a cyclist. Friday night at about midnight, yes I had both my PDW Danger zone on slow flash and PBSF on flashing.

The fun part was that I timed the stop light crossing at the bottom of the hill at Broadway, and was able to get the green at full speed and lose them as the light right after turned red, which they stopped for. They also had cars blocking them from getting off the line or around.

This is why I listen to music while riding, and wear a mirror. If I hadn't, the noise would have hurt my ears I'm sure, it was near deafening with internal buds on. Also I ride to work through an industrial area with no bike lane and heavy truck traffic. They always seem to give me plenty of room.
