So you have to "slow your roll" for a FEW SECONDS in consideration of another person, WHO HAS IDENTICAL RIGHT TO TRAVEL ON THAT ROAD THAT YOU DO, you want to act the fool. GROW. UP.
That's what I have to say to EVERYONE who says what you say; MOST of them, though, think bikes are toys, not real transportation.
Traveling on paved roads, provided by the society you live in, does not work on a system of "pay more, use more", "I pay more than you, so what I say goes", or mob rule. The closer we get to that, the more people will begin to die from road rage -- on BOTH sides. Drivers will get the Reginald Denny treatment more and more. It's the human nature that I see daily.
I don't know, this all sounds pretty childish to me. When was the last time some old bag got in front of you and just putt-putted along? It's purely discourteous if nothing else, and also illegal to traffic laws for a reason.
