Do you think there really are more cyclists riding like idiots than drivers driving, or is that bad driver behaviour has already become so commonplace and acceptable (like speeding). However I imagine that in NYC its too congested to get away with things like speeding but I'm sure that once gaps open up there is lost time to be made up
