Let’s be clear: bicycles are recognized vehicles under the law. I have just as much right to use the road as you do. You may not like it, but that doesn’t make it any less true. I ride for a lot of reasons — it’s healthier, better for the environment, and honestly, it brings me peace. I’m not trying to slow you down. I’m just trying to get where I’m going, just like you.
