Does not explain however, why some cyclists appear ( I say appear) to go out of their way to be as difficult as possible while using the road with other users.
I know the same applies to car drivers, but as you say - you are very well aware you are the weaker one - so why would you wish to appear to be so bloody minded as to risk your own life.
I know when I ride a cycle I am very aware of cars, trucks and buses and avoid putting myself at risk. Seems so simple, having rights does not make the world (or the road in this case) a safe place.
Of course, I welcome another lecture about the evils of car drivers, from those posters not as enlightened as you.
