I must confess, I am always puzzled by the hostility to claims that cyclists sometimes behave carelessly. I ride every day and I see it, every day. I mean, yes, some drivers are ********, and some pedestrians are ********, but some cyclists are also ********. The guy who blasts through an area clearly marked "Slow, pedestrian crossing" at full speed and then shrieks at the kid in the crosswalk for being in his way; that guy is an *******.

I don't think the suggestion in the article of enforced safety classes is the answer. I do think there need to be more dedicated bike lanes, both on the street and on recreational trails, and better signage and law enforcement to keep those lanes bikes only. Because I think we can all agree: the real trouble makers are those damn rollerbladers.
