Good info, but I’m not trying to make enemies of drivers either. I call myself a “bike ambassador” and I try hard to be respectful of everybody on the road.
Honestly, since moving to my current spot I bike so much less because it’s perilous. Several bikers die every year in my area due to car/truck/dump truck crashes. Maybe this is my cue to move to Portland. Or Montreal.

I dont want to make enemies either, but at least in pa thats just the law, bicycles must be on the street, and if no bike lane is there they use the regular lane. They can stay centered, and a car needs 4 feet of clearance to legally pass them.
Dont get me wrong, most drivers dont know that and are assholes so i stay to the side whens its safe, etc etc.
