I'm going to complain here a bit. Bicycles do not belong on the road. They belong on the shoulders, or in bike lanes. Its suicide to think the a two wheeled bike can complete with a 5000+ pound car. Case in point, today going to class, I was going down university about 30mph, this bike whips out in front of me and rides in the middle of the lane! Not only did he not use the bike lane (there is about a 5 foot lane on university ave for bikes only) but he slowed down traffic and could have possibly cause an accident. Its completely unacceptable for bikes to take over a road, the road was built for auto traffic, not bicycles.
I remember taking bicycle safety class as a kid, bicycles do not have the right of way on a road, cars do. Bikes are always to yield to auto traffic and remain clear of traffic lanes. I'm all for sharing the road, but taking an entire lane is unacceptable.
