I live in the Motor City. While there are many bike clubs and riders, the attitude around here is not good at all. The other day I was riding with my dog on the walkie dog, on a quiet side street and a lady came up in the opposite direction, talking on her phone. She stopped in the middle of the road, got off her phone and yelled out her window at how stupid I was! It is not unusual for me to get yelled at from cars. I abide the laws, am careful and will actually get up on the side walk if cars are crazy. When I have to get up on the side walk, I then am the one actually breaking laws! It is frustrating and there are not nearly enough bike paths. Bike lanes are starting to appear but not enough to get anywhere significant.
