It's truly amazing how backwards people in Calgary are.
I'm not quite sure how wanting to get a little exercise and fresh air by biking to work every day makes someone a hippie. And even if it does, what difference does that make? This city could certainly use more people who are concerned about the environment, as opposed to the gas hogs who seem to be in abundance.
Now I'm not saying that cyclists are perfect, I know that we make a lot of dumb mistakes and may be a pain to drivers, however drivers are far from innocent. You don't own the roads in any way, so please, SHARE. And really, having to go around a cyclist... will that really derail your commute significantly?
If you're so peeved, as a driver, when you encounter other people on the road, maybe you should consider ulterior means of transportation.
