Doesn't matter. It's safer to support the authoritarian power structure and mock fellow cyclists. Then when one of us really gets hurt, we can all act surprised that police and drivers treat us as speedbumps.

Then at the earliest opportunity, we can all take the sides of the police and/or cars against cyclists we don't approve of. And then one of the "good" cyclists can get run over, and the cycle (hehe) can continue!

And we wonder why we have so little protection as cyclists in this country. Just look at this thread. The majority of people here went out of their way to slam this guy and take the side of the anti-cycling authority figure. Good grief.
