1. yes
2. in most places, they do not have any "special and expensive infrastructure."
3. they cause probably a minority of the accidents that involve them (usually inattentive or distracted drivers) and pay a much higher price when they are in an accident.
Other than Brando being out cash money due to a bike accident, seems like most of the other complaints are being delayed while stuck behind bicyclists. Are those couple of seconds or minutes really going to make a difference in your life?
There certainly are plenty of people here on the westside of LA who think they are incredibly important. Had a guy in a Mercedes pass on the right and then blow a red light. Of course he had to stop at the next light as he couldn't do a doucebag maneuver due to parked cars. Didn't appear to have an emergency - just an impatient prick.
No doubt there are prick bicyclists. If you put the percentage of them equal to those who drive cars, then that probably explains why you see them often.
