I can see his point, to a point.
First off, if he is not one of the "obviously uninformed" he
would know there is a whole school of thought that bicycles
should brake and roll or leave lights early, etc now that
bicycling is getting a little bigger in the US and ideologies are changing.
That being said, I live in a spot where there are lots of group rides,
and big ones. When you get to Jupiter Island or anywhere in the
vicinity, its not uncommon for 30 bikes to bust a stop sign if
they get a break and are able to. If a car pulls out the car has a
huge percentage of being hit, slapped and yelled at, like its a
given to these people you are 'sposed to stop and wait for them even
if its your turn to go at the sign. To me, a lowly solitary commuter,
this stuff is making it impossible for us to achieve any sort of respect
from our adversary's. I even got yelled at once cuz a roadie had to
unclip at HIS stop sign. WTF ?!?!?! I could go on and on on what I
see right outside my front door, but Ill mercifully end it here
