ride bikes (op de fiets). Everyone does. It is easy, and it is flat,
and there are bike lanes everywhere. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>As for the rest of it, there's nothing wrong with swerving
to avoid danger. If someone honks, they honk. It doesn't mean you
have to run a red light (when no doubt the honker will be nowhere around to see
it, or for you to point out to him "that's because of you, that is." So
the two are just unconnected acts. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh, really. We get honked at for
swerving to avoid sewer grates, avoiding double parked cars, riding on the
street, avoiding doors, avoiding potholes, avoiding puddles, riding slower than
cars, turning left, and wearing tight pants. Should we stop doing all of
that too?</FONT></DIV>
