Lukesfishin,

There is a guy in Michigan who shared your attitude that bikes belong on the road only under the conditions you appear to think are right. A cyclist was on the road ahead of him in his SUV, didn't run any lights but was moving in the slow heavy traffic ahead of him. Since might makes right in his mind, he ran over the cyclist, then backed up and ran him over again. He is now in prison for a very long time for vehicular assault and second degree murder. There are other examples. It's about choices all right.

PS: I'm not advocating that anyone, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, or motorists disobey traffic laws.
