You're one of the good ones RISKDR and I hope I get to shake your hand one day. True, there are plenty in our midst who, due to the hormones stirred up by aerobic exercise, or frustration because everyone else is going so much faster so much easier than we, or perhaps inhalation of carbon monoxide, believe that we are obliged to endanger our own lives so that we may inconvenience motorists. Please don't listen to the nutjobs herein, nor especially to the utter nutjobs in the Advocacy&Safety subforum.
I used to think that such cyclists were giving us collectively a bad name, and I do run into the occasional hapless motorist hothead who lumps us all into the same category as the nutjobs. But the majority of motorists I encounter notice right away that I'm riding FRAP with blinking lights, and doing my best to coexist without endangering or inconveniencing anyone, and they regard me kindly and with much courtesy. (I almost always hear the reassuring rumble of their tires on the bot's-dots as they pass me.)
So THANKS to all you lane-takers! You make me look good by comparison, and you keep me safer.
