What things do cyclists do that cars and carts don’t do? Name even one.
Do cars, carts, and bikes treat most stop signs at yield signs? Yes.
Do cars, carts, and bikes signal most turns in advance? No.
Do cars, carts, and bikes come to a complete stop when making a right turn on red? No.
Do most cars and bikes appropriately get in the left lane a half mile ahead of a left turn? Yes.
I’ll name one thing that is different. Is it dangerous for a car or cart to come to a complete stop? No, but it is for cyclists who clip into their pedals.
If you obey all traffic rules, you are one in 1,000. You don’t have the right to complain about others if don’t follow the strict letter of the law.
What’s really at issue here is that drivers don’t like being delayed for 30 seconds because cyclists are legally sharing the road.
