Exactly, roads were built for people's mode of transportation, be it motor or bicycle.

I don't mind them if they don't move too far left into the lane. It's not that I mind sharing, I'm just scared of hitting them. I've seen/heard of it happening a few times in my life.

I'm a cyclist, so I for sure say share the road. I also say though that cars as well as cyclists should respect one another. It's not just a rule for the motorist.

HAHAHa i do that to bicyclist that dont get over to the side of the road.
As a cyclist, I have to say that cyclists have every right to be on the road with or without insurance, on the shoulder or not, as everyone else, including morons like you.

Yeah, it can be frustrating when a cyclist is moving slower than traffic in an area where passing is tough. But they have every right to do so.

If a cyclist hits you, who should pay for it? Thats why i made the comment about the insurance.
