NYC cyclists are a bunch of hoodlums

[PamNY]

so how are the NYC bike hoodlums worse than the hoodlums in the cars?

Gosh, I'd never even entertained the idea that drivers of cars would obey laws, at least not consistently. BTW, the stop sign compliance rate in the article you posted looks good to me.

I posted this because it's interesting on a serious level, and on a non-serious level it's downright comical to attempt to quantify the lawless behavior which characterizes cyclist behavior in Manhattan. The headline alone made me fall down laughing.

I break traffic laws all the time. I'm a careful driver, but my jaywalking skills are second to none, and I commit most of the bike sins (but carefully, and usually on weekends). That's just the way things are.
