Being a nicer cyclist

What are some ways that cyclists can positively engage drivers, gain their respect, and encourage them to use caution when they are sharing the road with cyclists?

Yeah, "unnecessarily." I would imagine "avoiding the door zone" is considered a necessity.

Actually the very first thing it says about biocycles is "When riding on public ways, bicyclists must obey the same basic traffic laws and regulations that apply to motor vehicle operators."

I don't think straddling lanes while driving is generally accepted for motor vehicle operators.

And now, folks, I'm going to stop replying here, because the logjam that was preventing me from being able to work has just cleared so I have to be responsible now.
