+1

I find usually where the road is wide enough for cycle lanes, it's easier to cycle on the road itself if you're wanting to build up any speed...

YES YES YES

Damn it pisses me off when people are crossing the street in the bicycle "lane" such as it is. Then they glare at me for trying to ride around them.

I often get these dirty looks when I don't step aside for people when going up/down stairs at train stations....on the designated side.

That's because you're making eye contact instead of focusing on the miniskirt of the slut in front...

sidenote, the summer fashion this year in Aichi seems to be floating miniskirt, lacy socks with babies shoes... which is already ridiculous most of the time (*) but when it worn by a cubic meter warthog also wearing the glassless 'arale megane' AND with legs looking more like expired ham than anything else it's a tie match between hillarious and vomit inducing showtime...

(*) well I have picture of my sister in outfits of this style, from 15 years ago. And she pulls perfectly the "you might have the shag of your life but you will wake up when the novocaine effect wears off with your entrails beside you, and with your files of state secrets missing".

Miniskirts yes...those fake tattoo stockings, no...just no. I saw a chubby with those cat stockings on the other day. Fat cat indeed.
