We live in a university town with a gazillion students on bikes, plus all the biking enthusiast in Colorado.

I can't tell you the number of times I have almost smacked a bicyclist due to blowing thru stop signs, red lights, unannounced turns, no lights or reflectors at night, etc etc etc.

Worst of all, state law says I have to give 3 feet clearance at all times to bike riders, which due to the lane width of the roads means I have to go over the center line to meet the 3 foot criteria. And most of the riders are on the left side of the bike lane, not in the middle.

I have nothing against bicycles in general, but please follow the traffic rules and don't be stupid, I know who is going to be the loser between my 6000 pound truck and your 30 pound bike.
Plus it's always the cars fault and I would be the one getting sued.
