Cyclist at war!

Montgomery County Maryland spent many taxpayer dollars building bicycle only
trails through nice parks. Never the less, a club of some 40 riders would
truck out to rural roads two-lane every weekend to ride 3 and 4 abreast,
blocking traffic for miles. Thanks to them I still have an Us vs Them
attitude.

I've never seen that in Florida. Many streets have exclusive bicycle lanes
and riders travel singley or in pairs, strung out to let traffic past.
Thanks to them I haven't gone jousting for years.

So what's your viewpoint, dude? Go with the flow? Baaah!

Vehicular cycling and vigorous prosecution of motorists who threaten,
harass and/or strike lawfully riding cyclists. Mandatory education of
motorists on the rights of cyclists.

I like these, but I also really like making the driving tests more
expensive, more frequent and harder. Let's get rid of the bottom 3% of
drivers.

If we want cycling facilities, build extra wide right lanes.

Sharrows are fine, as long as they are far enough from the curb and/or
parking lane.

Bicycle lanes just lead to motorists believing that cyclists do NOT
belong anywhere else on the road.

Pretty much, as well as frequently positioning people using them in the
door zone.
