This a truly outstanding book on the "art" of co-existing with vehicles while asserting your rights and respecting drivers, even when they're cravenly insane: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Cycling-Bicycling-21st-Century-America/dp/B002KE48D4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306810945&sr=8-1
I've only had a chance to read a little bit of, but this guy has a really solid approach. His advice on taking intersections, handling red lights (e.g. not creeping ahead of cars, and if you do, getting way over to give them room to pass), and even preparing mentally for a fall have all been new and insightful to me. I tend to err on the side of "F Y'all" a little too much, and his approach has shown me a palatable way to give motorists consideration. The more we ride the safer we all are, but it does pay dividends to be predictable and have basic courtesy. The bike snob book is great with some of this stuff, but this is a "serious" & very well-written survival guide.
