Interesting. I wondered now many of the fatal car bike interactions last year occurred in Florida. First Google hit and we get this wisdom, to wit: "On a per capita basis, Florida recorded an annual average of about 5.7 cyclist deaths per million residents, by far the most of any state". So, yeah, go ahead and try to convince me that the cagers are feeling you when you assert your right to an equal share of the road. The numbers don't lie. You are heaping up wrath against the day of anger every time you refuse to cede the right hand tire track.
