So... your part of the deal is that you fucking follow the laws for vehicles. You don't get to just pedal through a red light if you feel like it, you don't get to just peel the wrong way on a one way street because you're "just a bike." No.

In or out. You're either a jeep or a baby carriage. Pick.

I wish more cyclists knew that they were vehicles and obeyed the laws. And didn't do asshat things, like whip around turns that are just over hills where CARS CAN'T FREAKING SEE YOU AS THEY'RE DRIVING UP THE HILL. And don't get me started on the ones who don't wear helmets, ESPECIALLY when they're not following the rules of the road.

As a one-time (and hopefully in the near future, I will be again) cyclist, I almost want to pull over and lecture the ones that are just being asshats.
