When I ride my bike on the street, I exercise an abundance of caution and assume all cars are out to kill me (through negligence if not outright malice.). But some cyclists seem to have another mentality, where if they merely do as they're supposed to while exercising their rights then they are personally in the clear. Why should I avoid that busy multi-lane road, I have as much right to it as the cars. They're the ones that suck. True in the legal sense, but being in the right won't unsquish me.
