As a cyclist and car owner I feel obligated to say something. I ride in the bike lane or as far over on the road as is safe if there is no bike lane. I stop at stop signs, I obey all the rules of the road since I am a motor vehicle. That being said, most bicyclists piss me off.
I'd hazard to say 65% of bicyclists in Corvallis don't follow any rules at all. I've seen my fair share pass me when I'm stopped in the bike lane at a stoplight in order to run the red light. It's aggravating to no end. They NEED to be ticketed for being morons and breaking every traffic law in the books.
I'd also like to hold drivers accountable for speeding up to pass me and making a right hand turn in front of me. I'm sorry that I can't grace you with my understanding of physics as to why this is a bad idea. THE BIKE LANE IS AN ACTUAL TRAFFIC LANE, IF YOU CUT OFF A BIKER IT IS YOUR FAULT. Just had to get that off my chest.
Carrying insurance on my bike is a good idea, I'll check in to it. I want to rant more, but it'd be redundant and it's not my place. Ride/drive safe. Semper Vigilans
