That's always been the rule hasn't it? Your right to swing your fists ends at my nose? By your theory why can't I ride my go cart or dirt bikes on the street? Why is your hobby special?
Again, I'm not saying that I want them banned from public roads but I think it's a worthy discussion.

I certainly have seen sportscars hold up traffic- usually when the large wreck blocks the entire road for hours. I have never seen a bicyclist kill another car full of teenagers, I have seen both a Porsche and a Corvette do just that. I am truely sorry that others waste your precious time on the roads and don't get out of your way.
I don't think my hobby is special. Build your cart or dirt bike to standards that make them road legal and they deserve the right to be on the road. It seems that every hobby can interfere with someone else. Ride a jetski- that interferes with fisherman and boaters. Fly RC planes- the noise interferes with homeowners. Race cars- the noise interferes with local homeowners. Have an RV- they tend to drive slow and block roads as well. Camp- injure environmentally sensitive areas. The list goes on and on.
Again, just be careful what you wish for. One of your hobbies might be next.
