None because I wish to get to my destination unscathed. It’s dangerous enough riding a bike on a road especially in an area that is openly hostile to bikes. They’re considered a “lefty thing” here. Suggestive political stickers will invite outwards aggression from over 50% of drivers. Not worth it.
In my area simply having a foot 1% in the street when the countdown timer hits 0 has everyone inching towards me and beeping. They're already aggressive. What's worse than 100%?
People actively swerving their vehicles to hit you on purpose. Happened to me a couple times. Drivers actively trying to hit me. I wouldn’t purposely aggravate people who can resort to this over the slightest slight.
Suffered that too.
