yeah, its really funny when someone uses part of a 2-ton vehicle as a weapon against a human on a 20-lb bicycle.
In CA, a bicycle has as much right to the road as a car. It is perfectly legal for a bike to take the entire lane. And in fact it is safer if a bike isn't all the way in the gutter. Having trained in LA for quite a few years back in the day, I can say that there are some motorists who should be forced to walk. "Oh, I'm in such a hurry...I can't wait for a safe place to pass this bicyclist, I'll just force him into the curb because I'm late."
That being said, bikes also have the same responsibilities as cars, meaning stop signs and lights.
