Hmmm.
This may be a first & last for me, but it sounds like the cyclists are out of line here.
The reason I don't think this is a kars uber alles story is that these homeowners would no doubt be MUCH more upset if it were cars, and just AS upset were it scooterers, skaters, skateboarders or the like.
They just don't want the stress.
And we, the cyclists, should respect that.
