I have met the enemy
AMAZING!...No wonder so many people hate cyclists, including me. So we negotiate traffic laws as a convenience? Why are you riding? Do you really need to run traffic signals and stop signs to achieve something? Perhaps the dream of being on the Tour implies that one must not regard stops as required since they don't do it. Reminds me of boaters who think no wake zones apply to everyone but them. We are a country that believes in the rule of law(or used to)... and if you want to change them, there are ways to do so. If the majority of motorized vehicle drivers disregarded traffic signs and signals the way cyclists do, there wouldn't be be nearly enough emergency services to respond. 80% of cyclists disregard signals and 20% of motorists do the same. Could be a lot worse if the numbers were reversed or equal.
