Jesus what an arrogant position to take. So if I just jump on a bike right now and hit the road I instantly know what I'm doing and how to ride defensively? [/quote]

I haven't seen a single person posting here as a cyclist saying they would try to run a driver off the road or intentionally collide with one for driving (in the cyclist's view) improperly.

So apparently there isn't a need for training on that count.

What's more, we license drivers because driving a car has the potential to cause serious harm to others, whether intentionally inflicted or not.  That's simply not true of cyclists except in the rarest of cases - try searching for deaths caused by cyclists.  They're few and far between.[/quote]

So a cyclists has NOTHING to learn?!?!?! What would a defensive riding course hurt? I never said drivers should NOT attend such a class, but why are cyclists exempt? That is what the point about being "douche cyclists" is all about. Even when I agree that drivers could learn from such a class you completely dismiss the need for a cyclists to attend. Why? Because "share the road" is some kind of magic wand that exempt cyclists having to ride defensively? Are drivers not taught to drive defensively?
