What a twit.
Wait...WTF is this? I've been a cyclist for more than 40 years as an adult, and I've seen at least hundreds, if not thousands, of riders doing things that should have gotten them tickets. Things got much worse with the jump in popularity of cycling after Lemond won the TdF, and again after Lance--every a-hole in town got a bike, a jersey and an attitude. If we're going to "demand" a share of the road and insist that we be regarded as legitimate vehicles, we have to follow the same rules as everybody else on the road. You can't ride on the wrong side, chop somebody off in traffic, run a stop sign and then whine because drivers don't show you respect.
