Vehicle operators are REQUIRED by law to slow down and wait until they can LEGALLY pass a cyclist. Even if there is a “bike path” beside the roadway, cyclists have a legal right to be on the road.

Both cyclists and vehicle operators flaunt the laws. This comment just goes to inform drivers of all types: everyone breaks the rules of the road. When you kill or maim someone doing so, that is your conscience you will have to live with.
