I don't know if they just are not paying attention or they are purposely trying to make me ditch the bike.

Drivers respect you more and give you more space when you wear proper cycling footwear.

If it makes you feel any better they don't pay attention to cars or pedestrians either.

As a driver and a cyclist...lights on day and night so drivers can see you. Bright clothing. Dont weave in and out of traffic and follow road rules. Be predictable.

The number of road users who don't pay attention to anyone or anything going on around them is too damned high, because the penalty for endangering others is wholly inadequate.

I think bikes need a side mounted flag as well as a vertical flag.

Soeaking as a cyclist, Every cyclist who has a bad day bitches about cars, but the moment they are driving they hate cyclists in traffic just as much as everyone else

Anything with two or more wheels and possibly a motor doing anything that remotely gets close to violating Vehicle code. Want to slap them all with a 2x4 every single time.

I'm in the same boat, just got an ebike to get around. I made sure to buy a roll of DOT C-2 reflective tape, an even more reflective roll of 3M Scotchlite for my helmet, reflective rods that press onto the spokes, a 120dB horn with an additional front and rear light, and wear an ANSI 2 reflective yellow vest while riding... That being said, I'm probably still invisible to some stupid drivers
