This has happened many times ... because the salmon never seem to want to give up the bike lane or the edge of the road.

Not all of them have Walmart MTBs and plastic shopping bags hanging from the bars .... but all that I have met seemed less comfortable on a bike than myself, and I am too nice a guy (no, really .... at least sometimes) to force them into Traffic because they clearly cannot handle it .....
