Some bicyclist just seem to think they have the complete right-away at all times.
This is no different than downtown Seattle. BTW: it is legal for a bicycle to both ride on the road and sidewalks here in Seattle, which I don't have a big problem with, but most of the time they jump back and forth without looking behind them to see if they are cutting someone off.
I love the sign I saw the other day directly in front of the police station on Capital Hill. It said "No turn on red," but then had a sign underneath that one that said "except bicycles." This means that a bicycle not only can turn on red, but also does not have to stop on red? Seems a little dangerous to me, but Seattle is so "bike friendly" that they try too hard to appease the riders without stopping and thinking about the true dangers involved in their actions.
I ride, and I am not perfect. I have been know to go through a red light if no cars are nearby, but I seem to use a little more common sense (courtesy) than I see with some other riders. I've seen other riders, like the video above, that seem to think they have the right-away at all times, with complete disregard to cars and people. I have two words for you "Critical Mass." - Rant over.
