The average rode rider has spent $1,500 to $3,000 on a bike, $300 on shoes, $200 on pedals, hundreds on jerseys and shorts and lots of money on bike computers, helmet, gloves, sunglasses etc. It is a very expensive hobby and those who do it pay tons of money in taxes. In other words, it is not a ghetto sport. This is not to mention the charity rides that most riders participate raising millions for the MS Society and other organizations.

And yes, people on bikes have the right to the road just like a car and there is not a whole lot you can do about that,

And not a penny of that goes to roads, while a huge amount of gas tax money goes to maintain, stripe, sweep, and build new bike lane miles while vehicle lane miles suffer. Also cocky bike riders, (like you) knowing they are a protected liberal minority class, completely ignore all the laws that (theoretically) apply to them the same as motorists. Let's just bring some fairness into the equation. You're not against what's common sense fairness are you? Put license plates on your bikes so the red light cameras can catch you jerks and apply the money towards offsetting the bicycle welfare money stolen from motorists.
