This country needs more bicycle lanes. It is crazy to crest a two lane country road doing the speed limit of say 50 and there is a car in the other lane and directly in front of you are a couple of bicycles doing 10 – 15 mph or slower!
Bicyclists should not have the right of the road like a vehicle. The speed differential is too great; they don’t have to have a license (my step father had one for his bicycle in Birmingham Alabama back around 1910); and they don’t have to have lights, horn, etc safety features of a car. You might as well let people walk in the middle of the road.
Besides that, look at cities like NYC where they weave in and out of traffic with no regards to the law. They want to be a legal vehicle with the rights of a vehicle BUT they want NONE of the responsibilities. Weave in and out, cross against the light like they are a pedestrian. Make up your mind, either you are or are not a vehicle with rights and responsibilities.
