I cycle a lot (not so much during winter, during this season i drive my atb around the other day for a 60 km trip. (roughly 3-4 times a week, In the summer i cycle more) i respect bikers on the road. I stop for them if they cross my path, since i know it can be frustrating to hit full brakes if your on a go.

Since i bike in the winter, it's mostly dark if i go out; i use some bright LED lights (about 420 lumen on full power) this helps a lot. I also drive through a piece of forrest with an overpopulation of wild hogs.. They are scary.. Two weeks ago i had a close encounter with a large hog.. Amazing how fast man can go..

I also drive a lot for my work (car), i drive about 95,000 km per year. I see both sides of the story.

I read in a book of Lance Armstrong that you guys have got allmost no special roads for cyclists. (And the lack of respect you guys get on the bike from fellow road users who drive a car.) We do have them, and a lot of them as well. I remember if a place/vilage in the US has a road for cyclists, they advertise with it.. This is hilarious IMO.. (can't remember the name of the place, it was in Vermont) it was just a simple tarmac route for cyclists.. Too funny..

in many circumstances, a cyclist here has the same rights like a car.
Though you guys seem to have more respect to other road users in cars than for cyclists.
