Personally I try to respect the right of cyclist to use the same
roads. However, some cyclists give the whole group a bad name. I know
you have seen the ones I am talking about - passing cars in the gutter
at lights, running lights, etc. And as for arrogance - more than a few
cyclist are every bit as arrogant as the worst Hummer drivers you can
find.
