Come on dude, his riding habits represent the majority of cyclists, not the minority, like us (except for the riding to work part, which is also in the minority). I may not be a fan of riding on the sidewalk, but that's my opinion and not license to look down my nose or castigate those who ride the sidewalk. I don't see anything at all wrong with what he's stated and I think we should stick to the subject of the idiot in the road running the light, rather than start a sidewalk cycling lecture...I think there is a sticky for that.
