It is the arrogant, condescending posts like the one quoted that creates the environment where it is impossible to have a decent conversation.

As a side note, has anyone ever been or seen a biker ticketed for unsafe riding or clearly breaking the laws? It happens a lot downtown, just today a biker rode alongside traffic stopped at a light, and pulled right in front of everyone at the end, slowing the entire street down. Why he wouldn't stay on the shoulder is totally beyond me.
But you see people without helmets, cutting across lanes, changing between street/sidewalk all the time. I know theres similar behavior with cars but you often see people pulled over and ticketed often. Is there any enforcement of the rules with bikes?
