Bicycles on the streets during rush hour
It's kind of fucked up how almost everyone does a mental fist-pump when they hear about a traffic-jam-causing bicyclist getting taken out.
It's why I hesitate to take my kid on a long road ride.

People are trash. I almost only ride indoors now, but thats due to a medical condition.
I used to ride 2 to 3 thousand miles a year. Never had any issues, but man, people hate cyclists.

This sentence confuses me.
Why was the cyclist causing a traffic jam? Was he being a dick?

Usually because cars don't know what to do when they see a cyclist around. Or rain.

If the cyclist is where he/she should be, I don't see the issue.
I've seen dick cyclists before who think they are the most important person in the universe, but generally they stay to the side and I give them a wide berth for safety, but not a second thought.

There shouldn't be any confusion, i have a couple different bike riders on my commute that, while riding legally on narrow, busy city streets, have traffic backed up a good way. I can see why they get clipped and killed, accidentally or on purpose, by angry drivers.
I won't roll those particular dice and ride in most roads, because people are garbage.

When I rode outside, I would avoid roads like that like the plague. Ride in the median if I could. Though, technically, that's not proper/legal.GORDON wrote: There shouldn't be any confusion, i have a couple different bike riders on my commute that, while riding legally on narrow, busy city streets, have traffic backed up a good way.

I hear you. They're riding legally, but the 3-feet-law doesn't allow anyone to actually pass.them.
And during rush hour.
So.

what about if there's a hurricane or a snowstorm?

I never really minded bikers that actually followed the rules of the road. It's the pricks I have to pass three times because they swerve over and cross the intersection ignoring the traffic signals that I want to clip them.

You wouldn't mind being at the end of a 100 yard traffic jam, doing 14 miles an hour in a 40, because a hippie and/or multiple-DUI-suspended-license guy is allowed to ride his bicycle on the busy road?

I would be annoyed, sure. But having to pass the same cyclist 3 times was what made me want to run him over.GORDON wrote: You wouldn't mind being at the end of a 100 yard traffic jam, doing 14 miles an hour in a 40, because a hippie and/or multiple-DUI-suspended-license guy is allowed to ride his bicycle on the busy road?

Today the dude had on an orange construction vest and two straps of yellow reflecting tape.
I.admire his stubbornness, but he's still not going to win when he gets creamed.

Bikes are all over the place in Cambridge during traffic, but so is everything else, scooters, pedestrians, homeless, cars, etc. All on tiny streets where you can barely move. Takes 25 to 30 minutes to go 3 miles.
