As a four season bike commuter (8km each way) and sole wage earner for my single/low-car family, I wish more drivers had this attitude. It sucks that you feel bad and see this as a hardship, but I can assure you that it's far better for the people bicycles with whom you share the road.
> If I could drive on roads that didn't have bikes I'd prefer it.
Thank goodness then for interchange access highways, a car-only environment just for you and other like-minded people. :)
