The reason most drivers resent bicyclists isn't because they're
afraid of non-traditional lifestyles.  Rather, of the drivers who
actively endanger cyclists, most have little or no reason at all,
they're just "having a good time".  I see no reason why the people
who put Reagan into office should evidence better judgement or
consideration when they're put in charge of 100 horsepower on a public
road.

If there's any reason at all, it's because most drivers figure that
roads are built for cars, and the cyclist is an uninvited guest
who can't [usually] maintain car speeds.  Ah yes, when cheap fuel
gives out in 30 years or so, we'll see who uses the roads...
