Wrong Way Bicyclist in Bellingham Video

Folks:

I was innocently taking raw footage video for a Bellingham bicycle corridor tour when I encountered not only a wrong way bicyclist but two bicycles blowing through a stop sign and nearly causing an accident.

Enjoy!

The 2 cyclists crossing the street left from right at 2 minutes pose no problem, it's the auto turning right after signaling a left turn that violated safety. Wrong way cyclists bug me as well.

Meh. They know they're going the wrong way. They don't care. You're not a cop, it's not your job to try to enforce the laws. Doing so is what leads to road rage.
