It looks like this thread has struck a nerve with you. Sorry about that and I certainly would not hurt any of them no matter how they bug me. I think that you would be amazed at how people ride bikes up here. It seems that kids as young as 5 or 6 years old have learned that they do not have to obey any traffic rules.
I travel a lot throughout Canada and the US on business and I am amazed at how the majority of cyclists in other major cities actually stop for red lights (note that I haven't been to NYC or LA lately
). It simply does not happen here unless the cyclist cannot get through without getting run down. I repeat that up here, virtually all cyclists run right through red lights with the worst being bicycle courriers and those packs of guys that seem to think that they are training for the Tour de France.
