I've put thousands of cycling mile on many bikes.
for a time I trained with the US cycling sprint team.

roads are for cars.
when I cycled on the road I would literally ride the white line.
sometimes riding on whatever road surface there was between the white line and the shoulder.
when I would ride in the city I would ride in the space between moving traffic and parked cars.
intersections were handled wth extreme care.

cyclists today seem to have a sense of too much entitlement.
they are the ones who need to share the roads with the cars.
they are the ones who need to pick appropriate roads to cycle on.
