   I've seen the same thing.   
      
   But I have to say that I've seen cyclists do bad things on their bikes too.   
   The cyclists that I've talked to like to say "bikes have the same rights   
   on the road as cars", to which I respond "Correct and they have the   
   same responsibilities and have to follow the same rules."  Most of those   
   cyclists agree, but some get mad - because they don't want to follow the   
   rules.   
      
   Of course, the number of drivers I've seen out there who don't know the rules   
   are... well..  I'm good at math, but I can't count **that** high.   
      
   I know that I won't ride my bike on the roads around here.  I'll drive my   
   bike to the local trail and go from there.   
      
    JM>    I, and others, have had things thrown at us, people sneak up behind   
    JM> us and lay on the horn, yell things...   
      
   I remember a Kickstarter project that was a horn for a bike that sounded   
   just like a car horn.  Worked really good too.  8)   
      
      
   ... When in doubt, mumble.  When in trouble, delegate.
