Driver mad at "comptetive cyclists"

Below is a quote from the Strakalogue on foxnews.com--it's a place for people to read about and vent on the "obliviousness" of people around us. He always publishes one or two letters from "oblivions" themselves. I think Anne from cyberspace was one of them. I responded that that little lane may indeed be a shoulder and is illegal to drive or ride in. We'll see if it gets published.

Anne from cyberspace: I'd like to send a message to the road-hog bicyclists of the world:
MOVE OVER! These are not the individual riders out for some exercise. These are the Competitive Cyclists, complete with Official Riding Gear, including the Proper Helmet, Coolest Shoes and of course Padded Riding Breeches. And the bazillion-dollar bicycle. If there is a narrow lane to the outside of the white line, USE IT. I know you are too cool to use the sissy lane, but you are impeding traffic.
