These cyclists ignore the traffic laws and drive en masse right through stop signs, red lights, etc. They dare the cops to stop them. The cops just pretend it doesn’t happen out there. A few weeks ago they terrorized a mother and her children in a minivan, breakng windows out and scaring the children horribly. These guys are thugs on bikes. In my state, they’d get shot for this kind of thing.

I am a cyclist but do not ride with Critical Mass or even believe in their cause. For the most part these CM riders do not wear helmets and do not obey traffic laws. However, you will find that road riders with with our helmets, jerseys, $300.00 shoes and $2,500.00 bicycles will almost always follow the rules of the road.

Its a big investment and a crash with a car or otherwise will not only cost tons of money but likely our life and limb.

If they are running a red light you have the right to run them over, just the same as if you hit a car that runs a red light. They are not pedestrians, they are vehicles. If they want the rights of vehicles to use the right-of-way, they have the legal obligations as well.

The only problem here is the bicyclists were not arrested by the police.
