Cars and bikes don't mix unless the speed limit is under 20mph. Simply too much conflict. Next time tell them that you agree but that until the city/county/state puts in appropriate cycleways you're all stuck riding in the road with cars.

Then what are you doing here? Also, I go faster than 20mph. So, I don't feel stuck riding on the road.

You may go faster than 20 mph, but 99% of others do not. However, even you riding at 20 mph is a conflict for someone wanting to legally go 30 or 45 mph. This is all made worse with drivers not knowing what bicycle riders will do, often compliments of a road system designed for cars and so bicycle riders have to do things a bit differently and different riders do things differently and while you may know what you'll always do, drivers do not.

I suspect she is sweet on you.

Had an A-hole boss (ex-Green beret) that hated bicyclists.
Saw to it that I could no longer park my commuting bike inside the building. He ranted about me going to get killed on that 'stupid bicycle.' Had the last laugh: he died ten years ago form a heart attack. |
There is no way to properly defend the action of every cyclist. Your boss may just have been having a bad day and that was the only way to express herself. There is no need to argue, just let her vent her frustrations.
