And while we're on the subject of biker bashing, I'd like to add my two cents.
Here in Sonoma County the roads, generally, are very narrow and have NO shoulder
section.  This forces cyclists who use these narrow roads to share the traffic
lanes with automobiles.  In general this works out, although I think many
cyclists have a screw loose for even attempting to ride some of the high traffic
narrow roads in this area.  However, often I encounter a pack of cyclists 
riding two,three or even four abreast effectively blocking the road in that 
direction forcing automobiles to pass in the oncoming traffic lane.  Yes, 
they have a right to use the roads, but no, they don't have a right to obstruct 
the flow of automobile traffic.  If the road is so narrow and dangerous that 
the only way cyclists can ride safely is to block the road, then they should not 
be there in the first place.
