Am I a target?

People aren't trying to target you, it's just "traffic" and your a dot in comparison to a car.

You guys need to spend a few years in California splitting and sharing lanes with cars. We will realize that you only need 3 feet to clear cars. I constantly have people turning into my lane, panic braking etc. etc. You just move over and share the lane with the car. I do it so causually now that it doesn't bother me at all. Most cars just don't see you because you create a large blind spot or you're traveling much faster than the flow. Instead of trying to stop behind the car who panic stops, think of way to go around it. It is much easier on a bike to swerve, then to try to stop behind a car who locks up the brakes. Granted this takes alot of simple reactionary experience to go around it instead of stopping behind it.
