If Bike Lanes were availible in most areas, and maintained as well as the 
roads in those areas, then I would agree.  The fact is, in most cities 
(Houston is the example I will refer to) they are not, so I have no choice but 
to ride in the streets.  Unless, of course, I can ride through your lawn?

Fact of the matter is, a bicycle is a vehicle, and should be treated as such.
