I know I can use the whole lane on Lamar, it just seems rude to cars and gives bike commuters a bad name. One of the reasons to commute (at least for me) is to reduce my fuel usage and be a responsible citizen, it seems like causing a mini traffic jam and having people rapidly accelerate around a bike is counter to that purpose.
I presume that you work, right? So you are paying income tax which helps to support the roads that you are riding on. I presume that you live in either a house that you own or rent or an apartment that you rent, right? Then you pay property tax, which again help to support the roads that you want to ride on. I presume that you also buy goods, on which you pay sales tax. Which again goes to support the roads that you want to ride on.
You are apparently "buying" into the thought that roads are "designed" solely for cars and anyone not in a car is just "getting in the way."
The roads are made for
EVERYONE to use, regardless of the type of vehicle that they are using.
