#### all cyclists on roads. I’m huge a proponent of bike lanes.
Roads for cars.
Bikes lanes for bikes.

I drive quite a lot so get what you’re saying and would often agree. I’m also an avid year round cyclist who has been involved in education and providing guidance so I see both sides. Both groups have those who are eeeediots, are disrespectful, and totally self absorbed and self entitled. Make no mistake.. don’t confuse someone who rides their bike occasionally and less than 100km/yr for a real cyclist - sadly this is Joe Average who doesn’t have a clue and is who all think “oh cr@p what the ###### now…”
At this point I’d happily “settle” for both/either group following 90% of the rules AND the city taking into consideration reasonable needs of both. But holy crap when I see a cyclist on Crowchild it’s like having a sneak peek of a Darwin Award winner, or when I see a vehicle driving on a designated pedestrian/cyclist path (not including service vehicles).
I had to specifically respond to your right/turn example as I’ve had a clueless motorist try to kill me that way, more than once. Almost took out a friend of mine (destroyed his racing bike) and that one went the legal route.
