I DO take the lane, and WAS when this incident happened. That was one of the things the officer was on my case for; he thought I should be further to the right…
I serve on the board of a bicycle advocacy group with a bike cop. Two weeks ago, a pickup buzzed within inches of his partner and honked his horn menacingly.
Within seconds of the incident being radioed in, all cops were scrambling to find this yahoo. He ended up turning onto the street where my fellow board member was patrolling. Imagine the driver’s surprise to get pulled over by a bike cop! He’s currently facing charges of reckless driving and vehicular assault.
Is it my imagination or is it mostly the black SUV’s that go out of their way to drive within inches of a bicyclist’s handlebars. Other vehicles do it too, but I sometimes wonder about the thinking of people who like the Darth Vader look in their transportation.

There is justice in this world, after all.
When is the bike cop going to show up in this strip? Cute little bike shorts and combat boots?
