Feel free to call the police on them. If they are riding when automobiles have to have their lights on, the bicycle is required to have a front and rear light. If they are riding on the road they are required to be as far to the right as possible unless they have to avoid some obstacle in the road. They are breaking the law, report them.

The last time I called the cops they told me bicycles are only required to have a front light and rear reflector and they have the right to ride in the traffic lanes just like a car or motorcycle.

I have no problem with the ones who ride way to the right and make room for traffic during full day light. At dusk it’s hard to see walkers, dogs, etc. Bicycles any where on the street, but especially in the traffic lane should be lit up at least as well as a motorcycle or not be out there.
