i really dont mind this since it legitimizes bike travel and the cyclist's right as a vehicle to be on the road. A lot of Americans just don't think you should even be on a bike, even when you're doing something harmless like riding down the shoulder of a highway with only thru-traffic. Either it costs $300/mo to have and maintain or it's a kid's toy.
