So, this one got lots of good feedback. A few people stood out, saying "cyclists are assholes, breaking laws all the time and stealing right of way and generally a threat." Hmm. I both drive and cycle, generally around the same areas, and I can testify that the asshole density is *way* higher behind the wheel than on the handlebars. So if you’re one of those people,
1) Maybe you have a highly localized bike-culture problem.
2) Maybe recalibrate your perceptions a bit.
3) Maybe YATA.
