I agree. As much as I think we're entitled to be on the roads, sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with the a-hole drivers that harrass me. I've had people come up right behind me and honk like madmen when there's TWO other empty lanes to the left of me. As I said, our roads SUCK and a lot of times the outer parts of the lanes are even worse so I have to stick to the center if I dont want to rattle my poor beater to pieces.
There's a big to-do about trying to get 5% of road construction costs (or something) for cyclist infrastructure in New Orleans. I have a feeling if we do get it, it'll just go into some politician's pockets.

New Orleans can suck sometimes.
