A friend of mine and I were talking on this subject when I used to bike a lot. I said that bicycles had the same rights on the roads as cars.Say whatever you want man but you're riding a bike on the road with cars. You want to take the gamble then you fucking own it. Cars hit cars and mostly nobody dies because they're in a fucking car. You guys are running naked in the fast lane and passing cars at every red light, then get pissed when people don't want to just follow you at bike speed.
Find a bike path, trail, or stfu and deal with the real world.
He responded with "Well, you could be dead right."
Wise words.
