She seems to think that even though you are on a bike you should be in a lane verses splitting between a couple to save time. Essentially she is jealous that you will get there faster than she will.

Do you ride? IF so, you would think that she should think about people doing that to you? It is a very dangerous thing to do. I hope that her and I never meet....she would not like the results...if she crowds me on purpose...and I see it. Of course she has heard of "ROAD RAGE"?

I am truly sorry to hear that. To me it is a 50/50 thing here in Cali...I don't think most people know it is legal. Me as a biker really appreciate the efforts of the cagers that move over to make extra room. If I can safely...I give them a wave.....

Interesting this topic came up. I'm in South Florida (Ft Lauderdale to be precise) when a motorcycle came up the right hand side (curbside) last night in rush hour and made his way past all the cars to the traffic light. Probably passed 10 or 15 cars, no-one seemed to react (opened doors honked made gestures)

Had me wondering if I'd do it......
