Yakking on cellphones, texting on blackberries, reading the GD newspaper.

I'm sorry, but whenever I come across a post lamenting the lack of lawabiding courtesy amongst cyclists, I'm reminded of that old saying about being penny wise and pound foolish.
Yup gotta agree with you... for a sobering experience on how many motorists are not obeying the laws, drive the speed limit anywhere and watch the cars that pass you.
