[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If cyclists would simply do THREE things, I would happily cede them a dedicated lane everywhere:

1) stop at red lights and wait until green to proceed, just like cars do.

2) stop at stop signs.

3) don’t shoal through traffic (that’s where traffic is temporarily caught behind a slow biker, gets an opportunity to pass the biker, does so, and then at the next red light, the biker weaves through the line of stopped cars to the front of the line, and runs the red light, forcing everyone formerly trapped behind them to be trapped yet again, over and over. This has the effect of slowing ALL traffic on the road down to the speed of the biker.)

If they’d quit doing those three things, people would stop hating them. [/quote]

I will do this as soon as I see cars doing the same thing. But literally today, I witnessed 7 cars just blow through stop signs without looking or caring about anything around them. I saw 2 cars simply ignore red lights, much to the distress of the pedestrians around them and drivers constantly ignoring speed limits as if it were a suggestion and not an actual rule.[/quote]
