=-=£em in Pa= <--I find you to post the most unintelligent comments. Keep flexing those internet muscles. You sir, are the reason non-cyclists hate cyclists.

Anyway, I don't have a problem with a cyclist taking up the right lane. I think cycling is inherently unsafe unfortunately. Riding in the center of a lane may make you more visible, but it does piss people off. Pissed off people have been known to do some pretty serious stuff to cyclists. I dont know what this weird road rage is that people get against us, but they do. Apparently, everyone is in a hurry to go home and watch American Idol and sit on their sofa.

I get irritated with people "in a hurry." Unless you are the CEO of GE, you probably arent any busier than I am. Everyone these days just has a "Im so important" complex, and its irritating. It leads to a "I own the road" complex, which leads to a "lets kick this cyclist's ass" complex.

Anyway, I reccommend taking up as much of a lane as you feel you need to. Just be very aware of your surroundings, and report those who harass you.
