...cases involving bikers can be exacerbated by the fact that in Berkeley, "some cyclists are very political about their cycling: They yell at the motorists to 'Just stop driving.' "
Yeah, well that's Berkeley.
Wouldn't it be fun to take a Hummer to Critical Mass?

Maybe they should make bicyclists take a test and get licensed. Make them put a tag on the bike.
This would be for bikes on “roadways”. I wouldn't advocate kids having to do it that ride around in subdivisons.
I am sick of them running lights, stops signs, riding in middle of road.

In motorcycling, the 1%ers are the ones who give the other 99% the bad reputation. In bicycling, that statistic appears to be reversed.

We need common sense bike control.
The first thing we need to do is get all the bicycles off the road.
If someone absolutely has to ride one of these instrumentalities of death then they must keep it at a public velodrome for exclusive use there.
Let's save lives.
Let's have common sense bike control.

In Cupertino, CA--supposedly one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the USA--the police take a dim view of bicyclists that don't follow the "rules of the road." That means riding with the flow of traffic, obeying all traffic signs, and exercising your right of way properly.

large numbers of cyclists fail to follow the rules of the road, running stop signs
Pretty much sums it up...
