I ride my bike daily in my area and always assume the car has the right of way, I live longer that way. Sharrows are one of the most ill conceived ideas ever. What I don't understand is why bikers refuse to use bike lanes and insist in riding in traffic lanes when the option is available.
Spot on, and if those cars they drive could manage only 5mph up a grade they would be embarrassed enough to pull over and let by the parade of cars waiting pass. But when they're slow on a bike they have a FU attitude. They think that they are moving like Lance Armstrong and drivers just need to wait.
