Here's an asshole who wants to ban bicycles from the road.

Cars kill 40,000 people a year, about 30 of which are cyclists.  So which is more dangerous?  You are hundred of times more likely to be killed in your car than on your bike.

There are roads that do not allow bicycles.  They're called "highways".

How many times are you stuck in traffic because of a bikes in the road? And how many times are you stuck in traffic because of cars? 

How hard is it to slow down for 5 seconds? 

And how would someone like Lance ever get to train if he were not allowed to ride a bike on the road?

Share the road.  And keep riding.  No, better yet, keep burning as much oil as possible so we can get it over with and move on.
