Yes, I agree. They know the laws for cycling, and they are experts at knowing how the law applies to the interaction of automobiles and cyclists. Then, they go about violating the very laws that they spent so much time learning, since they must believe they only apply to "the other guy":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I’m not stupid enough to ride on a four lane divided street with roundabouts so there’s that. One common sense reason to stay right is people changing lanes that don’t see the rider. The closer you are to that left lane the more likely you are to get hit

I was on my way to golf on buena vista when the fire dept was attending to the guy. It was up on the way to Nancy Lopez. I didn't know he was hit. He was turning around in circles holding the bike and the firemen were trying to stop him and ask him his name, etc. From 2-3 people that passed the situation the guy looked like he was homeless/on drugs/metally ill. Spinning around your bike doesn't sound like your typical accident situation.

I didn't actually see him get hit... when I passed by he was lying on his stomach in the grass and he wasn't moving, there were people tending to him , the bike was on side of the road
