   At one time I sailed (wind driven) boats around big ships and flew gliders   
   (gravity/wind powered) around jets.  I had the right of way but it quickly   
   be came clear that if I insisted on that 'privilege' I could still be right   
   but more likely than not dead  ... right.   
      
   At one time I road a bike all over (50-100 miles a day on average) we had a   
   name for bikers that did not pay attention, 'dumb as a post only softer.'
