Al,
You brought up the license issue in your first post. I could care less about it. What would make me happy is if the cyclists would show the same respect to traffic as they demand.
I told you that I do ride a bicycle, I just try my best to stay out of the center of the street and ride as far on the side as I can. And yes, our law is different than yours if you are allowed to ride a bicycle on a freeway. Here even a motorcycle has to have a certain amount of horsepower before they can be licensed to ride on I-5 for example. I am not mad and I do get disgusted at following a motor home or truck for 20 miles over a mountain at 10 MPH. I normally pull off to the side when I can find a spot and wait a while for them to get over the top. No, the Harleys don't aggravate me because they leave room for us to pass in the other lane. The motorcyclists around here are far more courteous than the bicyclists. And our police force is small as this is a small community here.
Edit: It takers 8 bikes weaving back and forth to block 4 lanes.
