Yeah, all cyclists are wussies. They just happen to be wussies that endure a tremendous amount of pain every time they ride. They are the fittest and, arguably, the "best" atheletes in sport. Of course, a big, burly guy (on rollerskates) like yourself wouldn't know that, would you?

Cyclists are certainly the rudest, most arogant and uncivil of all athletes.
No other group of athletes consistently causes traffic jams disrupting thousands.
If y'all want to get the streets closed once a year like runners, so you can have a race, fine, but otherwise bikes need to be made illegal on public streets, unless the rider can demonstrate an ability to accelerate with the traffic and keep up.

Some cyclists are, no argument there. Just like some drivers are.

Those not obeying the traffic laws should not be on the roads.

Present law disagrees with you.
