I have to say, not sure I have the brass ones for 25+ mph in a gap between stopped traffic and parked cars like so many do. Pretty frequently I see it with a 4 foot or so gap. It's amazing to see so many people flying along though.
KS,
I feel the same way when I drive.
When biking in Boston and Cambridge I go 5-15 mph or 2x faster than the traffic. I really like bike lanes and the separate paths but bikes and cars are more and more learning to get along. More cars and trucks look for bikes and fewer bikes weave and zip between. Park and rent a Hubway bike! It's an upright, regal ride, not a bike messenger fixie and glides past bolloxed up, hydrocarbon burning behemoths.
