Funny, I was going to ask why bicyclists don't respect pedestrians. I used to run every morning through Prospect Park. During one morning jog I was nearly run down by a cyclist who then cursed at me for having the audacity of being in his way.
Everybody like to blame drivers, but what about bicyclists who barrel through on red lights through busy intersections? Or dart recklessly in and out of traffic? They can't have it both ways. They want to be given the same amount of courtesy as any other motor vehicle, but act like pedestrians. The stuff they do on the road would lead to a revoked license for any other driver.
I think it's time some of these cyclists take a look in the mirror and realize that their behavior at times is no better than the motorists they despise.
