I have been cycling since I was a kid — both in a silly spandex suit and as a commuter. I've commuted on a bike in cities around the US and in Europe. I hate to say it: but Bay Area commuter cyclists are without a doubt the worst.
I'm more worried about another cyclist hitting me or doing something dangerous than I am about traffic most of the time. I recently had someone nearly hit me by passing me on the right without saying something. When I suggested that they should either pass on the left or call out "on your right" he yelled at me. Baffling.
