Take what you need
Don’t sell yourself short
With strict interpretations

reading from the gospel
according to John Forester

Vehicular cyclists
Setting their alarm clocks
Leaving early  so        so early
Anticipating traffic conditions
Where they’ll sit    stay      obey

To get in line
To wait their turn
The turn they earned             and then

Still get no respect
From motorists   and cyclists too
Would you

What the hell are they doing
In the left turn lane waiting
Through three light cycles

Putting themselves in danger
Pissing off everyone     along the way

Take the lane   take the gap
Take the turn   take it easy

It’s not hard

Get used to it
Get over it
Get on with it

use the best of both worlds and flow seamlessly between the two. Adapting. Commuting. Cycling. Flowing. it's not just WWDD. It's do what you need to do
