Anyone know whats going on at Clark lately? Between Southport and Lawrence it is bumper to bumper traffic at evening rush hour. i can't help but having a big grin on my face when i pass them all on my bike. I sometimes just sing aloud to annoy them even more.<br></br>
It makes me feel unbearably smug...<br></br>

<p>There's a lot of truth in that. I've had mutiple experiences with motorists raging at me while I was riding in a straight line in a bike path, having apparently offended them by not being stuck in traffic and, therefore, proceeding faster than their many-horsepowered vehicle. I'm such a jerk!</p>

<p>I don't know why I read things in the Trib about cycling, all it does it put me on edge for when I ride because then I expect every driver is out to get me.</p>

<p>And then it makes me hate the scofflaw cyclists when I am in a car!!</p>

<p>Hmmm, she's advocating taking resources to ticket cyclists, crowding the streets with MORE cars(cause people who bike don't generally walk the 5-6 or more miles they ride everyday) that would somehow make people want to walk more?</p>
<p>It's too bad she had a bad experience with a cyclist, maybe the cyclist had a bad experience with a motorist running a light or a pedestrian jay walking. Who knows?</p>
