I just ranted about this in the JAM thread. I guess in part is our own fault as there are those of us that totally disregard any form of signage that might impienge on our right of free access. I have had to just nod in agreement when someone wants to tell me how some cyclist in full gear plowed mindlessly through an intersection. It angers me that there are these guys and they taint my efforts at being a responsible cyclist using my bicycle as transportation, obeying traffic laws (okay I admit blowing a few stop signs in the name of there's no one around). I do know that when I cross the bike path in a vehicle I try to see if there is anyone coming, just so I don't get a hood ornament. But you know what, there is no way in heck a moving car sees a moving cyclist on the Greenway, they could be decked out in blaze orange, thinking they're being seen, and still get missed.

As far as waiting out the motorist? I ride a bike, I have time, do you?
