I have heard more than one person ranting about someone on a bicycle holding up traffic and making them late to work/lunch/meeting/whatever. People in cars think the bicycles should stay on the sidewalk and people walking on the sidewalk think bicycles should be in the street with the cars. Its unfortunate but no one seems to want bikes anywhere. The people that can afford the $200K and up houses close to the office don't have to drive a very long distance since they are close to the office so high gas prices doesn't affect them much. People like us who have to live in the old parts of the city and drive 20 miles each way to get to work are affected most since its too far to take a bike (and prohibited on the most direct route which is the highway) so were stuck with bicycle commuting not being an option.
