ok, maybe I used the wrong thread to voice my issue.
I do understand what you're talking about. I hear it a lot and it sucks but you just gotta keep biking. I have the same right to be in the street as the drivers do. Just the other day I was riding in the right lane of a 4 lane road in which drivers had plenty of room to pass me. Still got beeped at. Sorry, no I'm not gonna go on the MUP, dodging pedestrians on that thing is scarier than getting passed by a speeding truck. ok, more ranting. maybe I better go back to ssfg.
