I think that's absolutely correct. I think a lot of people when they see cyclists on the road do not realize that we, too, have every right to be on the street (if there is not a bike path) as they do. When people see cyclists, especially here in Texas, they do not know what to do and how to go about them. A lot of other people get angry even because they believe that cyclists should stay off "their" roads, therefore they honk, whizz past, and flip people off. I think cyclists have every right to be on the road as cars do, but I also believe that if cyclists are so firm to share the roads, than we also have to abide by the same rules as we would if we were in a car. Just because you do not put a key in the ignition, does not mean you are a given some upspoken rule that you can ignore all the laws.
