Whilst the article is interesting it's the comments below it that
really get me thinking. It's amazing how many people think that
bicyclists do NOT belong on the roads. Also interesting how many
bicyclists delight in flaunting the Rules of the Road whenever it
pleases tthem.

Yup. We get that a lot.
I recently admonished one of our bicycling advocacy groups
http://www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/becausealthough their goal is
admirable, their methods are highly questionable.
They reject all notions that any sort of vehicular cycling (which is
really what I would call defensive riding) has any usefulness, and say
it has "failed", though it was never taught to or practiced by many here.
It's been said: "It's not that vehicular cycling has been tried and found to be difficult. It's that it's been assumed difficult, and not tried."
It's been said: "krygowski you're a ****ing idiot!"
And you're still behaving like a drunken teenager, in your riding style, your garbage language, your anti-societal attitudes, your mini-minded posts, and probably in other ways we haven't heard about.
Too bad you're not really 15 years old. There would at least be hope of good sense arriving with maturity.

Aw, Franki-boy, I was just getting ready to feel sorry for you and say something calming to Dan, when you get on your high horse and stick your snot-nozzle in the air. You're your own worst enemy, man.
Yeah, I got a kick out that one, too.
And thanks, Andre - I also *do* realize that I need to calm down.
Thanks.
