GAH!!!! BICYCLISTS!!!!
Argh! Why do otherwise intelligent people become oblivious to stoplights when they're on bicycles? This is the third time in a year a bicyclist has run into me.

1. Come to NYC
Bicyclists fly through the intersection. They have no respect for pedestrians.

2. That's particularly true with the ones wearing dorky bike shorts.

3. I saw one guy on a bike take a right turn
do a u-turn in the middle of the road and take another right to avoid "running the light".

Not that this is a biker trait, because I have seen it quite a few times with people in cars.

Do they really think that is less illegal? :crazy:

4. See, that's at least a fig leaf to the idea that traffic signals apply to bikers
Most of them just ignore them completely and get really pissed off if you have the temerity to suggest this fact has something to do with bikers getting hit by cars.
