Fellow cyclists, As sseen in both the post and the comments, there are some very real and angry reactions out there to pedestrians being hit, injured, or killed by cyclists who were riding out of control, too fast, and/or recklessly: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2012/07/when-bad-guys-ride-bikes/2536/ As this time-lapse video of one NYC intersection shows, though, reckless and endangering behaviors are well in evidence among all classes of roadway users: http://vimeo.com/24572222 We ALL need to be sensible, visible, and predictable, as well as courteous and considerate to each other--no matter how we get around.....
