    The obvious answer to that is that it would be better for the bikers if the drivers took some other road. Oh, but gosh, we all have to get where we're going.

    You might remind some of these people that a lot of the roads we drive our cars on were built for bikes with funds that bicyclists lobbied to get earmarked for said roads long before cars were being taken seriously. Further, where the heck did they get the idea that only cars had the right to be on these roads? (there's horses, heavy equipment, pedestrians, etc.)

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    Mimitabby, its the same in the UK, cyclists campaigned for the surfacing of the roads here too before cars were prevalent.

    It does annoy me when drivers think cyclists shouldn't be on the roads as in the UK both pedestrians and cyclists have a right to use the road whereas drivers are there under licence and can have said licence taken away.
