Where in these United States is that ever the case? Seriously, I'm not being a smartarse. I have yet to see the road that isn't wide enough for a car and bicycle to fit. Obviously a motorist isn't going to mow down a bicycle directly in his path but he will want to. I find it interesting that the same cyclists who won't run stop lights or stop signs because it "upsets" motorists want to treat said motorists to extended viewings of their backsides until they feel safe enough to pull off and let them by. Guess which behavior riles them more.
