I'm walking down the street today, approaching a 3-way stop (it's a T-intersection, so it's an all-way stop). I hear the telltale whoosh of a gaggle of cyclists approaching behind me. I make a mental bet with myself... will they blow through on a left turn, or just barrel straight ahead? Will they even slow down?
The answer turned out to be, (1) they blow through the stop sign on the left turn, and (2) hell no, they're not breaking pace. But then I see something a little different. Yes, here comes a white Honda at the same intersection, and guess what... he looks like he's trying to be a cyclist today... he wants to blow through the stop sign without stopping also.
Well, there's a screech of brakes, some angry shouting, some strong feelings expressed in sign language. And the priceless bit... I hear one of the cyclists indignantly harrumphing to his fellow asshole...
"Did you SEE that motherfucker? He wasn't even going to STOP!" Yes, that's right. 50 cyclists blow through a stop sign without even slowing down, and they have the temerity to gripe about a car who did the same damn thing.
Seriously, what's wrong with cyclists? Are their helmets too tight? Why do they think they're special snowflakes who don't have to obey the same traffic laws everyone else does?
