I commute by bicycle 5 days a week, and I have for years. If there's anything in this town that annoys me endlessly, it's cyclists who act like complete arses. Going the wrong way down a street or bike lane. No lights at night. Cutting off traffic. Can you imagine the outrage if the same person did the same nonsense, but while driving a car?

"With bicycle commuting on the rise — thanks in part to high fuel prices and an increased awareness of environmental concerns associated with automobile use — many believe that both cyclists and motorists could use a refresher course covering the rules of the road, to reinforce the idea that all modes of transportation come with a legal right and responsibility to travel safely."
