Because it is safer to ride in the middle of the road then on the side where some asshole driver tries to pass. If a car just tapes me when passing I risk death. And I hear once a week about a car hitting a bike and not stopping. Here in Texas a bike has the same rights as a car on the road. So unless you are willing to get out of my way don't expect me to get out of yours.

Yep. People really don't understand this. They're stuck in solipsism. Like when people bitch and whine about how bad their employers are. Have you ever had to deal with employees? "sorry, LurkedForever, I can't come in because my grandmother died for the third time, unexpectedly Jan 1st. I'm defiantly not hungover."

Just because you have the same rights does it mean you should be an asshole and hold up traffic behind you just because you want to ride your little bicycle to work. All of you guys do this, You're selfish.
