Try helping the widow of a cyclist who has been run over move. With her young children.
And then maybe you wouldn't act like such an asshole. |

I see cyclists running stop signs, using crosswalks, and even running traffic signals. I almost hit some guy that ran a stop sign and then he looked at me like it was my fault. |

You should ride to the right as far as possible, and you may occupy the entire lane in a group. Motor vehicles, depending on the state must allow at least five to six feet to the side when passing a cyclist. Some motorists wrongly believe we must ride on the shoulder, which is untrue.

No room for maneuvering, and he was run over.

I never buzz cyclists, I try to give them a wide berth. I'm talking about courtesy. When there's traffic and you're in a group with plenty of shoulder room, I find it discourteous to ride side by side and make motorists like me who don't want to get too close to cyclists wait for oncoming traffic to clear so I can cross over the center line and pass. |

Aside from that, you guys are right about the rest of the law - take as much of the lane as is necessary to feel safe. And yes, you guys are being a bit harsh on Venkman. A simple key to the side of his car would be sufficient, instead of all this name calling. |
