So how does my 20 lb road bike (that I sold) and my 150 lb soft pink body (that has a nice golden summer tan now) KEEP cars from passing me? The whole problem is that I don't trust their judgement or their skill behind the wheel. Which is the premise of this post in the first place. Suggesting that someone put themselves in a possibly WORST position for injury or death, depending on the situation, is not doing them any favors.

The guy is riding far right and ALMOST getting hit. So he should move toward the CENTER of the travel lane. Brilliant. In a world where motorists give a darn, he wouldn't be having issues in the first place. Moving to the center just raises the possibility of becoming a road rage victim or just getting completely hit.
