I am definitely not a cry-baby. One really nice bonus to riding like that is that I don't expect much from motorists. When I bike, I expect everyone else to do whatever they want to, so I am never surprised and rarely angered by traffic. And motorists in this town seem to be happy I am not in their way.
As for New Orleans Finest, they seem to have better things to do than mess with cyclists. Cyclists have almost no rights here. If I get run over, unless the driver is drunk (50 percent are at any given moment), they won't even get a ticket. I'll be dead or maimed and they won't even be home late for supper. So I do whatever it takes to not let them run me over. Notice how many cars passed me? Zero. That is my goal.
