I was thinking about this conversation on my way home so I decided I'd see how many times I saw a cyclist break the law before I left downtown (which is essentially two blocks for me).

I was waiting to make a left turn onto 4th Avenue from 8th Street on my way home from work. Typical rush hour traffic. Had to wait two lights. In the process of those two lights, I counted 4 cyclists fly by on the sidewalk or weaved in and out of traffic at a standstill , shoot out into the intersection illegally, and fly up 4th Avenue.

Bike lane is one block over, there's no reason for this but their own agenda. 4 cyclists in two lights during rush hour. Think about that. it's winter. Imagine how much this is happening in the summer.
