I experience all kinds here, most appear to be courteous and yet I still get buzzed pretty much every day. To be clear, it's not as if I don't wait at some stop lights and stop for some stop signs that I normally wouldn't otherwise, when I see a car approaching or already waiting, it's just that I'm not going to let some hope of some car drivers thinking differently about cyclists based upon one more instance of one of us obeying traffic signals that were set up for a completely different mode of transport keep me from Idaho stopping or outright blowing an intersection with a control if it doesn't make any sense for me to stop. When I choose to stop and I easily could've blown through, it's more about being polite and not rubbing it in their face, I don't have any hope they won't curse me (and all cyclists) if I end up in the lane in front of them and they have to go around me. People are people.

Personally, I'm considering moving to someplace that doesn't have cyclists or cycling infrastructure. I hate everyone's lights and I hate the "facilities" they design for us. I'm happiest in the road, with no other cyclists. I'm strongly considering changing my route in to work for the next 6 months, as I work nights and so reverse commute and so am going against the stream at rush hour on what is probably the second busiest bike corridor in Seattle, and the past few days have been insane with all the strobing helicopter searchlight candlepower equivalent "headlights" everybody has decided they need to have now.
