I ride on the rode, very defensively, and off road. I do triathlons and sometimes ride on the roads to train. I am very careful and try to be courteous to drivers. Some members of our club are not. Colorado was the worst I have ever seen. They were riding in a pack of about 30 and didn't care if they held up traffic. Some areas I will ride on the sidewalk but I slow down around pedestrians and give plenty of warning when passing. Here in Michigan, lately everyone has very dark tinting on the side windows and even the windshield. If I can't see the driver, I won't cross in front of them. Sometimes they wave me on, I can't see them through their tinting, and then roll down the window to say to cross. I explain that their tinting is so dark I can't see them. They didn't realize that.
