Farmers ask for ordinance against bicycling on roads

[Eden]

I rather like the idea of responding to the "cyclists never obey the law" with asking "oh, so can you tell me how many more tickets they get? Then... perhaps it is a perception because we don't even notice automobile drivers disobeying laws?"

Yeah every time there is a bicycle incident around here we hear the same thing - those cyclists they never obey the laws. I highly doubt that cyclists break the laws in greater proportions than cars. How many times do you see a car slide through a stop or speed down a residential street? 99% of them if you ask me, but no one notices those people. Breaking the rules is acceptable if you are driving and a cause to kick you off the streets if you're a cyclist. There is a real double standard.
