“Lycra-Clad Velociraptors” 2

The Guardian reports on a staged-for-TV debate over bicyclists in London.

The anti-cyclist rhetoric was rather over the top, but Jeez-oh-man, this is a great line, and, sadly, it contains some truth. Leave it to the Brits to turn a phrase:

“To a cyclist, a red light is merely a way of bringing a dash of colour to a city street.”

    Idaho stop, my friend, Iaho stop.

    Bikes aren’t cars and shouldn’t be subject to the exact same rules.

    When the bikers here run the red lights, they get hit. Which is why they have to follow the same rules that cars do. If not, they get ticketed. Just like the driver of a car.

    You can’t swing a dead cat in Boulder or Denver without hitting someone on a bike.
