alzjr Fair enough. You must be a bicylist I am not. My statement was not made in absolutes nor was I taking aim at bicyclist. They exist, I accept it and I share the road

However this topic is so widely discussed that it gained entry into an article published in a respected newspaper some time ago whose main focus were on bike messengers in New York City but ventured into common discussion about drivers thoughts about bicyclist.

I would love to have posters sound off about how many times they actually saw a serious bike rider stop at an intersection, stop sign etc. because I never have. Bicyclist especially in groups/clubs do not want to lose momentum much like a jogger does not want to stop jogging even if they remain in place continuing in their perpetual motion. Again I did say every bicyclist nor am I unaware that some auto drivers ignore the rules of the road also.

Personal Best Regards:
