Here are the roads in the country and city where I roll.

I am very fortunate than in the country or the city, I have my own lane, regardless if I am in my car, on my bike, or walking.

Walker hate cyclists as much as cyclists hate cars, and cars hate cyclist as much as cyclist hate walkers. I am fortunate that my city divides them up

Problems happen when a cyclist uses a mixed use path to connect two routes, and ride like they think they are still trying to win the tour.

Problems happen when cars for some odd reason, even on 4 lane roads, ride with their right tires on the right white line when passing a cyclist at 50mph, even though they have two of their own lanes to use and the other one is completely empty, let alone their lane being more than wide enough.

I echo the common sense comment. Sheesh, what do some people think will happen if their car touches a cyclist, or their bike touches a pedestrian?

Where are their heads?

See what I mean when you look at the lane position of the two cars in the last pic, as well as the white van, not wrong, just and example of how much room there is to move over.

We now have a law that you have to move over an entire lane when passing a stopped police or emergency vehicle because those guys keep getting hit too, even with flashing lights, uniforms and safety vests.
