I ride my bike across crosswalks.
However.....I'm riding my bike in a designated pedestrian/biking path that is basically like a huge sidewalk next to the road and it crosses busy streets at crosswalks.

I see cyclists run lights, run stop signs,
I get pissed when cyclist do this if I'm at an intersection and they just assume I'm going to let them blow through the stop sign or stop light. But if nobody is there, who cares? They aren't causing any more danger than if a car were to do it, and it doesn't impact anyone else. It's funny, because the same people that bitch and moan on here about cops doing inspection sticker checkpoints are the same ones saying that they should spend their time ticketing cyclists that run through stop signs.

There are MANY cyclists who do not seem to realize that any law applies to them. I feel police should do something as well.
I think most cyclists know that the law applies to them, but they also know that the likelihood of getting stopped by police for breaking the law is extremely low, so they are willing to take the risk.

have said it before and I will say it again, cyclists need to obey the laws themselves or they should expect people driving cars to not obey as well.
First, this is the dumbest statement. So a cyclist breaking the law gives cars the right to run red lights??? Second, I agree that a cyclist certainly should not think anything other than themselves being completely in the wrong if they are in an accident where they did something improper.

street, they should be required to get a license (or honestly, get their head examined).
There are roads better suited for riding. Major roads sometimes aren't terrible to ride on to be honest. None of the roads you listed are good to ride on certainly. You'd never catch me on one and I'll call a person riding one an idiot as quickly as you do.

Again, as someone living where there are plenty more cyclists than BR (I've got 4 major bike shops within 10 minutes of me), this is a biased statement. I could easily say that most drivers are criminals and we need to do something about it, since drivers commit "errors" just as regularly and flagrantly as cyclists.
