Agree 100%. In addition, bikes were legislated to be allowed on roads that were simply not built for them. Not their fault, but it creates a hazard for them

Agree 100%. In addition, bikes were legislated to be allowed on roads that were simply not built for them. Not their fault, but it creates a hazard for them AND drivers of vehicles for which they WERE built. I once had a colleague (an avid cyclist) rage, without a hint of irony, how "his" special built bike paths in and around our rural area were suddenly allowing inline skaters to partake.
