This article is crazy. We've talked about the issue of whether or not a bike is a vehicle, which determines the level of responsibility that would be legally required. On the other side, I think it's important to look at the benefits of a car v. a bike (and I use the term 'benefits' rather loosely). My point is, at the base of it, cyclists are really just trying to suvive on roads that are built with only motorists in mind. Don't get me wrong, I'll run a red light as much as the next guy. The thing that bothers me is that motorists get all hight and mighty, as if they never break traffic laws.

I agree that education is the most important and most effective way of diminshing these problems. But at the same time, both motorists and cyclists just need to learn to give each other the benefit of the doubt!!
