Reading comprehension isn't lots of people around here's strongpoint. There are valid reasons to not ride the 'bike lane.' Try it and see.
Till then, your projection of selfisness, etc is more a reflection of you, than the cyclist you encounter. Typical leftist: that's how I feel, so that must be what that cyclist is feeling too. Doesn't work like that. Most of us are trying to get down the road safely. It's the mouth breathers in cars that are the problem.
Since I'm in VA:
§ 46.2-800. Riding bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, electric power-assisted bicycles, mopeds, or motorized skateboards or scooters; riding or driving animals.
Every person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, moped, motorized skateboard or scooter, or animal or driving an animal on a highway shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter and shall have all of the rights and duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle, unless the context of the provision clearly indicates otherwise.
Bicycles are traffic too. I'll bet your state has similar if not verbatim language in it's laws. Treat a cyclist like you would another car and everything's fine. I've got a hint: look past the hood of your car, put down the soy latte and your phone and actually pay attention to driving that multi-ton vehicle that can and does kill. /problem
