I think it's perfectly acceptable for them to use the road just like everyone else, just at minimal inconvenience to motorists. Motorists pay huge amounts of tax to be able to use the road, cyclists don't. I don't mind sitting behind a cyclist until there is a straight and safe place to overtake but you'd think they'd let you past when that opportunity comes. They often don't, and that's when i growl at em. The fact you've been hit 4 times in a year is terrible, and the people who hit you should probably have paid more attention and given more space.

Honestly my friend it comes with the territory.; I do see your point of view. and if you've cycled as you've said. you know this. like motorcycle riding there is a small chapter called etiquette. most here are familiar with it.  if you jam traffic, and have no way to not do so, then at the first place you can SAFELY do so move over, let jam clear before proceeding as you were. I had 4 gopeds. now on number 5. I bunnyhopped my second one across the hood of a Honda accord. going 30-35 its fairly easy. its either do that or hit it anyways. shes looking left as I come up on opposing lanes. because I am not permitted to use shoulders. plus I was entering the parking lot of market. which would explain. wonder-woman in said Honda, while gabbing on phone, pulls out and STOPS> NO cars coming. well I did what I had to do. plus with camera rolling invited her to call the police and explain tire tracks on the accord. with video. she declined. 2 days later its stolen. am not going to post said video. because well I get angry when I see it. kind of like your frustration at inconsiderate cyclists, or my frustration at inconsiderate riders or drivers. our roads are paid via property taxes and such. here so
were all on an equal type funding levels . I just wish there was a way to make everyone happy Eh? im sure you do to. they ride, I ride, you ride. we all do. heres to My naivete thinking one day it will WILL work perfectly :)

Nothing makes me happier than to see a guy on a motorized pushbike going to work, having a good old go at it. But just like you said, the problem on the road is etiquette and right of way violations.

Some places motorizing them turns them into motorcycles or they try to regulate.  some places its not worth it to go thru the hassles of registration and titling. tbh whatever ones M/O is for transportation, everyone needs an etiquette lesson. ( myself included) until roadways or laws are changed we all have to make use of what we've got to use.

You can run, but you'll only die tired.
If you hit it with a hammer and it doesn't fix it, you have an electrical problem

most of the folks I would ride with would maintain single file when traffic present. to not cause issues like encountered by some here. cause like ive said. weve all got to use the road here. so might as well try to use it TOGETHER. that is when lanes or wider shoulders were not there.
