Bike lanes are there for a reason.

Sadly all bicyclists pay the price for the few rude ones out there that give bicycling a bad name. To those of you who feel the need to assert your rights and ride down the middle of the street, holding up other traffic when there is a PERFECTLY GOOD BIKE LANE NOT BEING USED, you are not doing yourself any favors. It's people like you that make drivers mad, cause them to drive erratically around bicyclists, and endanger everyones lives. You are doing the planet, yourselves, and others a great service by riding your bikes, but please try to be courteous to those who may not be as selfless as you are. In your pursuit of health, please add manners and consideration for others to your list so that we might all enjoy and yes, even share the road together.
