I have tried different routes and this kind of thing is becoming a daily experience anywhere I ride around here.
We have no MUPs here in WNY (we are such a backward out-of-date area). Short of riding on the freaking sidewalks, I just don't know what to do anymore.

I'm the father of 6 kids, I can't get killed by some ahole because he/she can't get to a red light fast enough.
I'm seriously thinking of going back to my evening and week-end rides and screw the commute. I just find it so satisfying physically, mentally and saving gas isn't bad either, but this daily putting my life at risk is getting out of hand.

Do you folks deal with the same thing? Any other ideas?
My primary car is a Kia. I'm probably just as likely to die in an accident in that as on my bike.
