Welcome to the world of transportation bicycling! Don't feel bad about inconveniencing motorists, sometimes it is inevitable even when you follow all the rules. And don't worry about tarnishing the image of "good" cyclists. You just make us look better! Haha just kidding, keep up the riding, learn how to keep yourself safe and have fun!
