Just to preface this, I ride a bike. I don't ride it where there is not room to ride without obstructing traffic.

Roads are built for the purpose of transportation, and are built with taxes paid on vehicle registrations and fuel. Cyclists don't pay any of these fees. They are not required to have a license, and they do not follow traffic laws. They use the road for recreation at everyone's risk. I can't set up a hockey goal or a basketball hoop in the middle of the highway and expect to be safe and protected by law. Other than cycling, recreation on the highway is not permitted.

I understand cycling for transportation. Please try to operate whatever vehicle you have chosen in a way that will not get you killed. Cars>bikes.
