It just seems like you're trying your best to start something, BB.

Nope. Just stating that bike riding is not required to be in lock step as in the military. When I do drive a car I am very careful to look out for idiots on bicycles, since I don't want to be involved in a 'Darwin' event, from either perspective. With the car in traffic that no bicycle would/could be in, it always amazes me that there aren't more wrecks. I have to drive insanely sometimes not to get rear ended. That's why I prefer the bike and the country to the city (car or bike). Bill
