And somewhat intermediate is the case of "riding to rule".  In SF a few years ago a particular cop ticketed riders for not coming to a full stop at stop sign on a popular bike route.  As a protest, a big group of riders took that route, and came to an absolute, foot down, full stop, one at a time.  It caused a major traffic backup, and the police decided to go easier on riders who only slowed at the stop sign. [/quote]

[b]not the best analogy,  since they essentially overloaded the traffic system [/b]to make a point that they were above the law and didn't have to follow rules of the road.  if drivers did the same thing and ran every cyclist off the road everytime they encountered one as a form of protests,  I guess then we'd be OK...

and for the cyclst going 18mph.  F U  not all roads are flat.   every morning a couple asshats pedal their way up the hill at chain bridge road  after just cross the river.  limit is 30.  id venture to say that they could get off their bike and walk up the hill faster than they are pedaling.  Some roads are just not designed with enough space to accommodate vehicles and bikes at the same time.

If the cyclist would just think about this "hmm, .Maybe this two lane road with no shoulder isn't the best place to cycle during rush hour, I should find a different safer route."  but no....[/quote]

Perhaps, but I have long said that cyclists should designate one week and scrupulously follow all traffic laws. Take the lane, complete stop at all stop signs, etc.  Just go on your regular route.  The effect would be the same.  And drivers would go up in flames.
