Another reader was adamant that "all cyclists break the law at some point," to which I countered that the same could be said about every driver. Seriously, get a grip. You want to nit pick? The "law breaking" that people complain the most about is rolling through stop signs and traffic signals. Sometimes, cyclists have to choose to roll through to keep moving -- after all, the human body is the engine moving a bike forward and momentum is huge. Additionally, cyclists can see much better than drivers down the streets as they approach most intersections and are likely traveling only 5-10 mph. Hey, and sometimes cyclists roll through or get a head start at intersections so that they won't hold up traffic. Yes, bikes are supposed to stop, but in most cases, this is not the worst evil and not all laws written for automobiles work for bikes. Stop signs and traffic lights exist because of automobiles and the higher speeds at which they drive. Sometimes cyclists have to quickly swerve to miss potholes, bad pavement, road debris, rocks, etc. Bikes can and must react quickly to those types of road conditions. That's one of many reasons why drivers need to grant three feet when passing cyclists.
