Hit a nerve, did I? Didn't mean to. Yes, most motorists flaunt certain rules of the road. Heck, here in Missouri we've turned the rolling stop into an art-form. And you'd have to be nuts to drive on the interstate at the posted speed limit. My sister has been forced off the road on a couple of occassions while biking, at least once was clearly intentional. > Yes, cyclists who break the rules piss me off too, as they > make it harder for the law-abiding ones, but don't make out > that "everyone else" obeys the rules and only cyclists > infringe. That's simply bollocks. A look at the Wheels of > Justice website will soon show you that... That's certainly not what I meant or intended to say. My experience here is that many cyclists appear not to realize they are subject to the same rules of the road as motorists. "Just like a car" was a mantra drilled into me as a kid. I don't see that often enough. - jmh CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information or otherwise protected by law.
