Carbon29 Sadly you seem to have totally missed the point of the article! It is not about the motorist driving badly/ driving too close/ endangering cyclists/ taxis breaking every law etc. or whatever else comes our way! We know they do! It is generally about that we, all cyclists who are also allowed to use the roads, get our own house in order first and behave properly on the public roads, the same way that we want all other road users to! This means that we do not: jump Stop streetsjump red traffic lightsride more than single file on a road without a shoulder, thereby blocking the road for the motorist behinddo anything else that is against the law of the roadsinfringe anybody else's right to utilize the roadWe are ourselves motorists as well and we can all see how other cyclists (mis)behave on the roads such that I myself get pissed off with my fellow cyclists while driving! If motorists can see that cyclists generally behave properly while riding, their current crappy attitude towards us will also improve in due time. It works overseas (Germany, France , Austria), therefore it can work here! This Tit-for-Tat is useless and a cyclist will always come off second best in an altercation with a car!!
