actually i prefer cops giving tickets to cyclists for every minor thing... it will improve bicycle riding in my area... he keeps comparing bicycles to motor vehicles, only thing is, bicycles don't have a motor... in most states bicycles are required to have a light when riden at night... and it's called a public road for a reason... he can blab all he wants, but he can't do anything about it... hehe...
and to add to the arguement, it seems like anybody who has an IQ of 50 and above is given a license in the US... most of the cyclists who knows how to ride on the road properly are better at riding their bikes than half the people at driving their cars...
