That way I dont have to worry
about some spandexed ****for brains on a $5000 hitech geewhiz bicycle
running a red light and me adding him to the collection of dead birds,
road kill, bugs and so forth already stuck in the grill of my truck.

Btw...because yall ride a bike, makes you no more and no less special
than any other form of transporation and hardly makes you immune to
the laws of physics. Not to mention the Vehicle Code.....

Yes, the vehicle code.....

Maybe the code is different in the USA, but we have that bit about
"overtaking vehicles to keep clear"

Can bicyclists run red lights as well in your neck of the woods, and
are immune to all rights of way and so forth?

Not at all. However I was referring to the problems drivers seemed to have
with the OP in overtaking him on a bridge with 2 lanes to choose from. Over
here, overtaking vehicles are required to keep clear.

Are they not in the USA?

Of course.

Now about the sins of the bicyclists?

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr
