I'm not trying to condemn all bicyclists but apparently there are some here who fail to obey traffic laws.

I saw the same thing start to happen on stillwater and morse. as I had right of way, I made it clear with a blast of my horn that I had no intention of stopping. I was confronted by one of the cyclists at which point I asked him if he was ignorant of the meaning of the word stop.
he was being quite a big bum cavity, luckily I could match him in output.
