My experience is: Drivers tend to assume bikes are traveling about 10mph, or stationary. They get really surprised when you’re going faster. Drivers assume that bikes are 2 dimensional, and don’t have a width. Bikes should be able to be squeezed into the space between any two lines on the pavement. Drivers assume that their car ends somewhere around the back of their head, and as long as they can’t see you forward, they’ve managed to pass you and can move back in. This is especially obnoxious when they’re towing a trailer. What you’ve built is effectively an underpowered motorcycle, with all the safety that they provide.
