I'm genuinely pleased to see how much support there is for following basic rules of the road in this thread; there have been a few that have gone by in recent months which were dominated by the opinion that cycling is so morally superior to motoring - or unfairly marginalized by it - that a rider should have license to ignore whatever rules they choose. How anyone can rage about dangerous drivers blowing through stop signs or intersections and in the same breath demand the right to do exactly those same things because they happen to occupy the roadway on a bike is completely beyond me.
