Share the road... most bikers think this means "I'll do whatever stupid, illegal, inconsiderate, or dangerous shit I want while putting my life in your hands expecting you to see me, know what I'm doing, and not run my ass down."

Like I said back in the days I used to drive forklifts for a living... it doesn't much matter what the rules of driving a forklift safely are if you have a fork sticking through your chest... don't make your safety my responsibility.

A day doesn't go by that i don't see a cyclist running a red.. rolling through a stop.. right at red light when it says "no right on red".. or a variety of moving violations. I would say it's a bad apple that spoils the bunch but more like 50 apples spoil 200.

I will say if we had bike lanes throughout the busier cities and suburbs... we would all be 1000% better off.

The one thing that should be illegal is cyclists in a 45-50+. Uphill, going 20? Someone is going to die and 99/100 it won't be the Ford 350 that just changed lanes.
