      Taking the lane is usually the safest way to bike, and when Sage I let cars pop ass as a safe I let cars pass as a courtesy.

      But I am taking the lane because it’s safe, and the road is mine too. I pay my taxes, it’s my right.

      Safety is not even an excuse, but an actual fair concern. If cars can’t give a damn about passing bikes with sufficient distance, then you’re putting yourself at danger by allowing them to do that.
