    Going a lot around on a bicycle myself, I'm _very_ careful of bicycles on
    the road when I drive. But I hate all those two-wheels happily pedalling
    in a narrow street on the LEFT, since I cannot pass them with safety (for
    them). Stay on the right, and I can go within 0.5 inch of the parked cars
    on the left side. The reverse is not true.

    I really don't understand that attitude: most people have a driving
    license, and should understand their position as seen from both sides. Or
    is it asking too much :-)

    Ciao,
