I commute 5 miles to work every day on a road bicycle and also ride recreationally on the weekends for exercise.

My first concern is always for my safety, second concern is to be courteous to other road users. For example, while waiting at long stoplights, to avoid blocking right turning cars, I’ll move to the left so they can get past.

Drivers in this area are pretty courteous and mindful of cyclists, probably because there are many of them. I have found that there are some rude, arrogant and dangerous cyclists and rude, arrogant and dangerous car drivers as well.

I commute also, but I bikepool.

You can’t be from Boulder, Co. then.

Why don't you just run the red light, like most of the guys I see on the morning commute?
