The road isn't just for cars. Its more dangerous for us to ride on the sidewalk and put pedestrians in danger. The road isn't for just bikes or cars, its for us to share. Its just how it is. For every entitled bicyclist you see on the road, we've seen plenty of awful drivers. I live in one of the most bike friendly cities in the country and still get yelled at by passing trucks or have people swerve at me because they think its funny.
There are horrible people out there on all different types of modes of transit. Even if you are irritated be kind to us. There are a lot of us out there who obey traffic laws and use signal when we ride. In the words of the great philosophers, "Be excellent to each other."
