It's having to "hit the brakes" that is most annoying, especially when you have to hit them really hard. You guys must feel if you repeat it enough
times that we will take it to heart???? Won't work, but nice try.

The final reason is the lack of animosity. In most American cities, there is a certain group of drivers who actively resent the encroachment of
cyclists onto “their” roads. These guys will deliberately make cyclists’ lives miserable, simply for being on the road. They will cut in front of you,
honk their horns to try and scare you, or spray you with windshield cleaning fluid (I’m not the kind of cyclist to key someone’s car or bash their
windows with a U-lock, but I was pretty close with the windshield wiper guy). I think that this attitude is only possible because American roads are
so pleasant to drive on and American drivers so law-abiding–in Tbilisi, the average driver has to contend with so many things getting in their way
that anyone who flew into a frothing rage at the slightest infringement on “their” patch of pavement would get arrested instantly. Once again, chaos
makes for safer biking–rather than an “intruder” into the automobile’s rightful domain, drivers view cyclists as simply another obstacle to be
avoided.

Children
In 2011, there were 61 million children age 14 and younger in the United States, 20
percent of the total U.S. resident population in 2011.
Motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death for children age 4 and
every age 11 through 14 (based on 2009 figures, which are the latest mortality data
currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics).
During 2011, there were a total of 32,367 traffic fatalities in the United States. The
14-and-younger age group accounted for 1,140 (4%) of those traffic fatalities, which
is a 6-percent decrease from the 1,211 fatalities in 2010. In 2011, there were 171,000
children age 14 and younger injured, which remained the same as in 2010.
An average of 3 children age 14 and younger were killed and 469 were injured
every day in the United States in motor vehicle crashes during 2011. From 2002
to 2011, the number of fatalities in the 14-and-younger age group decreased by 46
percent, with the 8- to 14-year-old age group showing the largest decrease (49%)
(see Figure 1).
