The problem with cyclists:
-They go too fast
-They go too slow
-They won't get on the sidewalk

-They are entitled and demand bike lanes
-They take the lane when there's no bike lane
Have you ever been at a red light on a 20 lb bike with a 65-ton articulated bus inches from your wheel—piloted by a guy who's eager to get by you? Have you ever ridden on a road with no shoulder where folks are driving SUVs at 45? If the answer's no, spare me your judgment.
To be blunt, the environment that American bike riders most get around in is needlessly dangerous. Drivers are distracted, aggressive, speeding, poorly skilled. The laws and the police don't protect us. The streetscape can be like a cruel joke. We're on our own most of the time.
