I guess the answer to your question is largely dependent on where you live
and what the attitude toward cyclists is in that area.

It sounds like where I live...

But what would happen if I step off my door and into the three lane

to 50MPH? Would I be able to stand my ground or just give in to the
law of the jungle?
