i'm a delivery driver, and everyday i see more cyclists breaking the law or potentially causing accidents than i do cars/trucks/ect... i understand share the road, but it goes both ways. don't be a duche on a bike and you won't get killed

Each religion has got their own way of making you feel like a victim. The Christians say 'you are a sinner', and you better just zip up your trousers and give the money to the pope and we'll give you a room up in the hotel in the sky.

As Cubsfan stated, both sides have dbags. I can't speak for everyone but I do notice that cyclists in major cities tend to be a little bit more cavalier with respect to traffic laws. I will run a light or a stop sign but always ensure that it doesn't impact any traffic. I do find it funny that cyclists are vilified for not following traffic laws but drivers run red lights and stop signs with regularity and it is just considered the norm.

I too would be interested to see the break down of accidents involving a bicycle traveling in the wrong direction of traffic involving cyclists versus individuals who casually ride a bike. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of cyclists don't spend much time riding against traffic. I for one see few if any.

In the end we would all be better off if we didn't classify motorists and cyclists based on their worst 5-10%.
