My point, if you will, is that there are two sides to the story. Yes, motorists enjoy many privileges. But so do cyclists. You make your choice, you have to live with the privileges and consequences. The fact that motorists enjoy certain privileges does not make cyclists morally superior to them. If you like to ride, ride. Find what works best for you and do it. But don't go all inferiority complex about the privileges of drivers.

In short, quit yer whinin'.
