I agree, I avoid traffic as much as humanly possible. I never ride in high traffic times.

I also agree on space, but it seems to be a game of how close someone can get to me without hitting me, and how many cell phones they can hold up, in addition to all the other distractions. I give bikers all the space they need, but it’s not me they need to be worried about. It’s all the other boneheads.
