Great post!! I couldn't agree more. I started riding last year and quickly became awarer of the 'us against them' mentality that seems to permeate the cycling community. I have ridden on group rides where wanna be 'race' cyclists will ride 2, 3, and sometimes 4 abreast and not yield to motor vehicles. Some idiotic dream of equal rights for cyclists... While that might be the law, common courtesy will much further the cycling effort. Besides... the law of the road is really quite simple... 4000lbs vs 150 lbs what about that principle is hard to get?
