well, I have only commuted 3 times so far (including today...) and no the bike doesn't seem to throw them off that I can tell... though there are a couple of spots that I have to keep watch of...
there is a quick-e-mart on my side coming in to work, so I have to merge into traffic to help avoid a "right hook"... a 1/2 mile down there is an intersection where if you stay in the bike lane you have to contend with right turning cars so I merge into traffic so that I can go straight... I have never been harrassed so far (knock wood).
I haven't had to deal with wrong way cyclists yet either, though I have seen them on this road...
