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?
