  If you want to risk your life by riding a bike through traffic (yes I know it is a legal form of transport) that is your choice. But don't be surprised if you get run over, and then don't expect a parade for your foolishness.

  people die every day doing less foolhardy things than riding their bikes through traffic and they don't get a parade.

  ..Really fool: ? let me remind you! It's a cyclist right to utilize the road just like every other citizen and expect to be safe and not run over by some cell phone gabbing, texting or otherwise occupied person - whether it's a motor cycle or a bicycle - it's ignorant idiots like you who need to stay off the road and have their right of driving or using public roads evoked - you are probably 200 pounds over weight too huh? I wait for your comeback while you finish up your cigarette! Unbelievable!!!....the morons they allow in our society

  I have to agree with tri gal; EVERYONE deserves to be safe while on the roads. Even other motorists are hit while the other person is preoccupied somehow (they're not usually killed, though). Too often, in a cyclist/motorist accident, the cyclist's point of view is not taken because they're killed. True, cyclists need to follow the laws, but motorists need to be aware that we're out there too. And yes, KKKBBB, you are a moron! Unbelieveable.

  I think of others safety too. I ride a bicycle 18 miles to work each day. I've never run over and killed anyone since bicycles are safe for ALL people. Bicycles don't use foreign oil (60% cars) or make deadly pollution (Carbon mon=oxide) and green house cases, CO2.

  Cars kill over 40,000 people a year, more than wars or any other factor. I call the the WMD.

  When I do drive I actaully treat the max speed limit like a real limit and go a little under so I'm safe and don't tail gate. It's a privilage to be able to drive and everyone should be much more responsible.
