Honestly, this is something that requires education both on the part of motorists *and* bicyclists. Sharing the road isn't rocket science - and I just leave a good 3 car lengths of room when some would-be Lance Armstrong needs to get over. (and if he doesn't take it, I'll just blip the horn to make sure he knows I'm coming, then pass).
Some of the worst bicycling habits I've seen are right here in DC -- and coincidentally, some of the worst motoring, too. Getting around on two wheels in this town (with or without a motor) is suicide.
Just a heads-up: tvresq and I will be in town next week! SF from Tues-Thurs, Monterey from Fri-Sun (doing a race there), then back to SF from Sun nite to Weds. Would love to see you while we're around!
