But a lot of this is just bad planning. Worse, it's bad planning born of wishful thinking and a snootiness the "green and sustainable" harbor against drivers. It's the same arrogance that lets cyclists tell themselves they are not bound by the same rules of the road that govern those of us behind the wheel. So they glide through stoplights and signs, veer onto sidewalks when it suits them, even hold up traffic by pedaling slowly in the middle of the road.
