How about requiring that bike lobby to get just 1% of the cyclists out there to learn how to stop at a stop sign before we put any new laws on the books for car drivers?
Last time I almost killed a cyclist running a stop sign, I gave him a beep, and he flipped me the bird. It was easy because he was riding no hands.
Cyclists in Houston, especially the disrupt group that generally menaces the road on purpose, all need to get their sh!t together. With such a narcissistic and entitled attitude is it any wonder everyone in the inner loop is pissed about this scofflaw cyclist behavior? How about sharing the road and following traffic laws, crazy I know. And these are the same types that have the nerve to grouse about cars sharing the road- such hypocrisy.
