These same people band together once a month to take part in an activity that can best be described as terroristic as they maliciously set out to frustrate and bull bait car drivers by blocking them at intersections and intentionally using the whole road in their superfluous claims that they are indeed traffic when in fact they are flouting numerous laws stating otherwise with the actions they are taking.

Bicyclists deserve nothing but the most minimal of courtesies when using our roads and should be thankful that we don't run them over on a regular basis due to the endless unsafe and unlawful actions they intentionally perform everyday on our roads.

Did we seriously just compare blocking traffic for half an hour to ramming airplanes into buildings and killing thousands of innocent people?

What he meant to say was that anyone who takes control of the road while flouting traffic laws is a jerk.

The up side is all that overtime made by the average blue collar civic/police workers in the wake of these buffoons. Would almost be an FOI gem if statistics were kept and ledgers formed.
