Having been a biker I'll try to add some defence.

-They paved the rail beds here, against the wishes of the bikers. The old walking people and wheel chair folks and unknown forces on city council who claimed they had to be paved to plow them in the winter(????)

-Bikes are allowed to use the lane if they want, I try not to if there is room for my to move over, the same as if I'm in the tractor, but a road bike with an average rider is moving at 20 mph on the flat and hitting the shoulder at that speed means crashing.

-Its generally safer for us to be in the lane, because people WON'T move over to pass us! Would you pass a car and clip its mirror or fender? Why do people think its ok to hit a cyclist with a mirror?

-Every year people throw stuff at riders, a co-worker of my wife had a fast food cup of ice hit him in the face throw from a car going the opposite direction at 60 mph. It smashed his lexan glasses and broke a bunch of his facial bones.

-In our town at least, there isn't near enough parking downtown. Every biker means more parking for me.

-I don't ride much anymore, too many close calls on our two lane narrow road. I'll stick to the dirt roads I think.
