And I can see when cagers are going to pull into/ out of a parking lot and dont see me... Happens at least twice a day...

I cross at the cross walks, only on either a solid green, or with a "walking man" signal....

Last week I was stopped by a jogger for riding, "in the left side - mile wide bike/ped lane-because the right side of the road has no pavement past the white line and there are blackberry canes swinging into the lane"-he told me I was a hazzard to all the correct-thinking bike/peds on the road.

Of Cource he was right! I know this, I just didn't want to die - just right then. This is a scary and difficult; to ride real fast with the speed of cars and have no room at the same time.
