People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can’t be aggressive.
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.

Then you better treat them as a car of which you don’t know what they’re doing (most of 'em), and keep a sensible distance.
I do keep a sensible distance, but when they’re doing 15 on a 45 it causes a problem that requires one to go around.
I agree more bike lanes should be installed, but vindictive riders out to “prove a point” helps nobody and only serves as an example to the majority of drivers that bike riders are dangerous on the same roads as cars.
same can be said for drivers as well. many of whom should have their licenses revoked on the spot.
