A lot of negative driver behavior towards cyclists can be explained by the (perhaps subconscious) attitude that "people in cars are more important than people on bicycles." Darin's incident is one example: The driver DEMANDED that the cyclist inconvenience himself for the convenience of the driver. I'm sure every cyclist has had similar experiences, including some much more dangerous ones. I can't help wondering where this attitude comes from. Why does one suburban commuter think s/he has a greater right to use a public road in Black Earth township than 700 bicyclists?
