Hey you're cycling, that's great. I commend you on being "green" and getting in some exercise. If you could do a couple of things for me that would be great.

Unless you are a message courier, Alberta law says you are and have to act by all motor vehicle laws. So when you plow through that 4-way stop in the cross walk not even looking while it is my turn and I started to go, that is illegal. You cannot switch between pedestrian and motor vehicle when you feel like it, all that does is confuse everyone on the road and puts you at risk.

I understand riding lane center is one of the best ways to keep yourself safe, but if you notice on that 70 km/hr road that there is a line of 20 cars behind you, it would be great if you would pull off into the shoulder to let us pass.

That's about it, thanks for your time.
