People around here seem to be pretty friendly to cyclists, although I've had 1 or 2 drivers come pretty close to me even though they had an empty lane to their left. Never had anyone get closer than about 3 ft though, I just don't understand why some people try to attack cyclists with their cars. Guess they don't realize that person that they almost killed might be a mother/father just like they are.
Even if they aren't mothers/fathers, it still shouldn't be ok. It could be the doctor that saves their life in their next car wreck.
