scared of the road
If you need to follow all of the rules, or act as if you were a car at stop lights/signs, you are obviously too far out in space for me to feel remotely safe riding anywhere in your vicinity. Its the idiots stopping at lights who get tagged two blocks down at 40mph by the same cars you were being considerate for while in the mean time you could have been a safe distance down the road; its the same people getting doored while considerately riding on the right side of the road.
Remember, they are far less aware of you then you are of them which leads to real safety for the cyclist in maneuvering around the various 'obstacles', and the faster you go, the more time moving vehicles have to react appropriately. Get your facts straight morons, and do us all a favor, if you can't handle urban cycling just stick to the streetcar.
