They usually give me no problem except the belligerent ones that ride 2 abreast and threaten you if you come anywhere near them.
I guess they pay all of the same taxes that you do......property tax...auto license tax, etc..those taxes provide for the roads they ride on...you may ride your bike on those roads too. What gives them the right to ride on the road, you ask....it's the law!
