If you cycle regularly in a metropolis like I do, the dangers that the riders in the giro d'italie are talking about are way too real-so why do car, truck and bus drivers think that a human being on a carbon or aluminum 5kg frame with precarious balance and thin wheels is a threat on roads that are made for several vehicles? Are we talking too much testosterone driven bravado?

The image of a co-worker's husband with metal pins in his leg because some truck driver was in a hurry haunt me...
We are all working together out there on the road-take a breath, give an inch, you won't be late!

I've been commuting to work (Shibuya to Shinjuku) daily by bicycle for more than a year now, and I've actually found the Japanese drivers to be pretty darn polite when it comes to cyclists on busy roads. (I often use main roads because, well, I'm addicted to speed, and riding 30 km/h on back streets, much less sidewalks, is not entirely safe.)
It's certainly much better than Vancouver was.
