Hate to put this burden on you, UCTT, but your post was very wise. This is the thing that makes all the difference: recognize that "right of way" is never taken, it's always GIVEN. Anyone who rides a bike--just like anyone who drives, sails--should know that just because you have the right of way doesn't mean you have immunity from serious injury. I'm completely in favor of cyclists' rights, and support biking infrastructure, but this trend (that started in a different century) of cyclists believing they have some sort of superior rights, is just insane to me.

In some way it's a self-limiting problem. The people who go head to head with cars and trucks intentionally aren't going to be around for long.
