I've never met a cyclist dumb enough to race in a pack of 40 bikes at 30 mph down an urban street that has homes and apartment houses (meaning kids, toys, moms pushing strollers, grannies on walkers, parked cars, and vehicles entering and exiting driveways.

But, the law of Karma dictates that if God ever created a cyclist that dumb, or that arrogant, or with that amount of contempt for the people who live in a neighborhood, God will find a way to correct his mistake....and send those cyclists a message they won't forget.
Do you feel the same way about a person driving a car at 30mph?
