    Having a legal right to be on the road won't protect a cyclist against
    a drunk motorist, a texting motorist, or a motorist who wants to go
    faster than you're riding.

    A good thing, and I cared about it more during a few decades
    of daily commute.

    Had an absolutely perfect ride today in beautiful mild
    summer weather and saw not one moving auto. Life is good!
