Of course I'm concerned with motorists, they wield the 1500kg object.
I'm sorry that I don't ride in the standard craphole situations that you guys do
and that my biggest problem is ninja, salmon and people running red lights
The dutch have the right attitude...as long as what you are doing does not harm someone else its at your own risk.
Motorists do not generally hit cyclists because they are upset that the cyclist violated a minor traffic statute. Motorists tend to hit cyclists because they were yapping, diddling, fiddling, masticating, or gulping.
PS: PDX and Frankfurt have similar cycling mode share.
