Agree! And police SHOULD enforce the traffic laws on bicycles. Virginia now has a law that YOU, the car drive must remain at least 3 feet away from a bicycle. Sounds logical, but if a bicycle (or usually many staggered over an hour) are passing my house than YOU the auto driver can not pass as the road is too narrow. If they stayed near the side, you could, but they don't. If you were driving a Model A you might not mind going that slow, but who wants to drive at bicycle speeds in a modern rig?
