Bicyclists should follow the rules

“Share the road with bicyclists.” OK, I can do that. Now, to the bicyclists: Share the traffic rules with motorists! Stop signs and red lights apply to you, too. So do directional signals (hand signals) so that we drivers can have a sense of what you’re doing. Riding in bunches down residential streets early in the morning while shouting to each other about nothing important is annoying as well.

Personally. I don’t care what happens to any of you who disregard common sense, personal responsibility and respect for others while riding your bikes; I just don’t want to be part of an accident that you cause.
