So why is it that so many bicyclists ride as if they do not dread the thought of getting hit by a truck or car?

Why do most bicyclists here insist on riding in the car lanes in 30-mph traffic, when they could be riding in maximum 20-mph golf cart traffic (diamond lanes) or on multi-modal trails designed specifically for them....for their safety??

It is hazardous!
Amen to that. AND, they are not supposed to be riding two or three abreast when it would be an impediment to the flow of traffic.

I like the slight-tapping-of-the-horn idea. But it will probably not be well received by the cyclists.

We could do a whole thread on motorists vs cyclists that would rival the What My Dog Can Do In Your Yard threads.
