It occurs to me from my participation in a number of different forums that Americans love to express their rage for bicyclists on the road. I am a bicyclist. It's one of my many passions. So give me your best shot. In the end we may all learn something.
I rode for a long time - mostly to campus - and generally have no issues with sensible bike riders. I appreciate the "bike lanes" as well. It is the occasional brazen idiot on a bike that bothers me - yes - those who insist on riding on the very left edge of the bike lane, or even past it onto my driving lane. That creates some real temptation on my part. So far - so good.
It is interesting that you mention the very left edge of the bicycle lane. There may be a legitimate reason for riding there.
