In the population of bicyclists, just like the population of golf cart drivers and motor vehicle drivers, there are those who flaunt the laws as well as common sense. We have threads on this site about golf cart riders going the wrong way and letting their pre-school grandkids drive the carts, and threads about car drivers violating all common sense rules in the circles. The bike clubs in TV stress safety to their members. Each ride starts with a comment and "heads up" on safety on the road. Each monthly club meeting includes a presentation on safety and road rules. Bikers have every right to ride on the road as long as they abide by the vehicular laws as stated previously. I ride with the clubs and ride alone and am one of those "fancied dressed riders". I try to observe all safety rules and get really mad when I see riders violate the rules because I know that it upsets vehicle operators. Please don't punish me for those idiots. TV is a wonderful environment for all forms of exercise including bicycling.
