It's just been over a month since we moved to Chicago, and it was nice at first to see all the people biking around the city. Getting exercise, cutting down on pollution -- what's not to love? I've always tried to be careful when driving near bikers, and I support adding bike lanes to city streets.
But after just a few days of watching bike riders flying through red lights and stop signs, weaving in and out of traffic and nearly getting themselves killed or causing accidents -- I'm not so sure.
Bike riders complain all the time about how they don't get any respect, how they want to be treated like any other drivers on the road. Well, when it suits them, anyway.
You can't act like a driver one second and a pedestrian the next. Follow the rules of the road, or walk like the rest of us.
