Yes, and you are a fucking ******* if you do that!!

Do you think your amusement is worth risking someone else's life?

Grow up people, bikers have just as much of a right to be on the road, and they have a lot more at stake in the event of a collision. It is hard to see them especially at night.

SmoothZ, that was an honest mistake, and I have that happen to me pretty much every day that I get on my bike... we're used to it. Looking twice can save a life.

That happens more often than not in Los Angeles!  Esp in stand still traffic these guys just go about their business sailing along the median or inbetween lanes.  More than once I wanted to just OOPS open my door as one of them was approaching my car....pissed me off b/c I HAD to sit there in traffic and they were just lalalala on their way....

FYI, lane sharing is perfectly legal in the state of California. Bikes can get places much faster than cars can on public streets, plain and simple. I hate it when people try to block you from passing like they're in some sort of race. Just because a bike gets there faster doesn't mean it's gonna take you longer to get there. Also, not all bikers are idiots... those are just the ones you tend to notice more. I prolly hate those guys worse than any of you because they tend to make cagers and cops hate bikers just because of the vehicle we are on.
