I don't get your frustration with my post. There are idiots on bikes, and there are idiots in cars. The title of this thread, is "People on bikes are douchebags"
Apparently, you accept that all people on bikes are douchebags.
I don't disagree that you see a lot of douchebags on bikes in San Fransisco. Im just saying that not everyone on a bike is a douchebag.
I don't run redlights and stop signs, but I do ride on the sidewalk. I like to keep my distance from motor vehicles. People in cars will throw shit at you as well. Maybe that was one of you assholes in this thread. A few months ago, I got a got a can of soda thrown in my direction. It almost hit me, but hey, that's what I get for riding a bike and not smogging up the air you like to breathe.

I'm huge on bicycling. I'd say I'm a bicycling enthisiast... And in years past I rode several hundred miles per week. What I'm saying is that vast numbers of bicyclists think no laws apply to them. Sometimes it costs them their lives.
If you live in a metro area, you see it too. Do you ignore it? Sounds like you're advocating it.
If I can video tape an intersection and capture 1000 riders in a single day blowing a red light at full speed... Would you think it was a problem then? That's the magnitude of the problem around here. It's not my imagination and I'm certainly not a hater.
