I've never had a problem pbutting bicyclists on a two lane road when I'm driving. I drive, I drive quite a bit in addition to bicycling. I simply never have this problem all of you anti-bicycling drivers do.

I see the bicyclist up ahead. I examine the traffic, I adjust my speed slightly (up or down) so I have a gap to pbutt the biyclist, I pbutt, I return to my normal speed. I don't understand the difficulty.

If you think all non residential roads move at 45mph or more all the time you are sadly mistaken. Actually these days much of the problem drivers I encounter are on residential roads while I am riding at or near the speed limit. They see I am on a bicycle and automatically buttume I am going 5mph, so they adjust their speed up to 40 or 50 mph to pbutt me, see a stop sign, cut back in front of me and nail the brakes.

As I've posted many times, if my goal was to screw up traffic, I would use a car. Legal bicycling has no significant or measurable impact on traffic or traffic speeds unless an incompetent motorist is involved. Then the incompetent motorist jams up traffic. But that is not the bicyclist's fault or in his control.
