On online message boards such as NextDoor, discussions about cyclists on the road inevitably ends up focusing on those two-wheeled scofflaws with little respect for the law. So I decided to go undercover and catch them in the act over a course of a day.
You see, the reality is that drivers and cyclists break the law at about the same rate, they simply do it in different ways. Cyclists’ favorite ways to break the law include not stopping at stop signs or riding the wrong way down the street. Drivers enjoy speeding, texting and using their phone while driving, and rolling through stop signs as well (hey! they coined the term California Stop after all!). Drivers also kill and injure far more people than cyclists do, which really isn’t such a good thing.
I’ve written about this before in another article here on the site (check it out) — and nothing has changed.

And I was looking forward to the video. Bait and switch!

I have found that the anti bike crowd is so rigid in their belief that bicyclists are all scofflaws and motorists are law abiding , that I no longer have debates with them. I switched over to mockery and sarcasm. Screw ’em
