They want to be treated like a car until they come to a traffic signal or a stop sign and then they cruise right on by.

I used to get so mad when they would do this in morning rush hour traffic in Dallas. You'd have to drive slower than the speed limit until you could get around them. Then they'd ride past the cars that had just passed them and you have to drive below the speed limit again. The ones that I would encounter all did that.

What I didn't get was that they could have ridden a block north or south and been on a much less traveled road. I'm talking about Lovers Lane or Mockingbird Lane headed west through University Park.

I have no issue with them on the road, but it's dangerous to ride with cars on highways and larger arteries.

i used to cycle when i lived in houston, though we'd go out to the outer communities for weekend cycling ... this post is spot on ... just about everyone inside a n'hood like rice village will ride right on thru the stop sign or red light and expect everyone else to stop ...
