We have had bicycle paths built around here at no small expense. And they cross roads at odd spots; appears very dangerous to me. We have to slow and watch, but the cyclists just haul butt right through, without even slowing or looking. Walkers seem to have a lot more respect. Bicycle riders have the entitlement attitude around here. My opinion, of course. Hate that our tax money is paying for these paths. And, oftentimes, they will still hog the road.
Yes, I resent the cyclists. No offense meant towards responsible riders. And, the yield instead of stop? Fine, as long as a car is allowed the same. I always thought bicycle riders were supposed to follow the same rules as motor vehicles.

Only if you’re prepared to drive at only 15 or 20 mph, like most bicyclists. Then you can yield and not stop. :)

I despise anyone using any conveyance whatsoever.

The worst is those slave-oared galleys. GAH! You ever get behind one of THOSE pokey beasts on the expressway???
