Attention motorists: If your rear-view mirror goes under my elbow you're passing too close

Sincerely,

A very annoyed cyclist.

4. I see a lot more problems created by bicyclists who weave between cars.

Why do bicyclists in the city so often behave as if the traffic laws only apply to them when it is convenient?

5. The answer to that and many other life's mysteries is the same reason a dog licks his balls:

Because he can.

But in my case I was simply riding home from work, as far right as I could be and avoid the debris on the shoulder.

7. I know there are drivers who don't respect bicyclists.

But I also understand where the antipathy toward riders comes from.

When you keep riding between cars when the light is red, instead of standing there in place, like the law requires, don't be surprised if one of those guys pretends you're not there when he passes you later.

8. Motorists rarely surprise me, which is why I'm still in one piece

But when they act like assholes I'm still annoyed.
