I can't say if it's more prevalent with weekend warriors, but I believe that if you commute regularly you quickly acquire a little more humility and perspective on the road. I'm all for looking PRO but I want to look PRO and stay alive. Thanks for that Patrick.

The scary part is that most of those irresponsible cyclists were driving cars before you got home from the ride. Just this afternoon I descended (legally) into a sweeping right turn and a stressed driver (100 YDS back) reminded me that freedom is given. He clearly had no tolerance for me on his street and made that clear. I still prefer two wheels.

The more we post about this type of stuff and the more we talk about it and the more we lead by example the better off we'll all be. I simply don't understand when riders do stuff like this. Do you think you're fast? Do you think you own the road? Do you think you're doing yourself or other riders a favor? Cause most riders, by and large, aren't all that fast, they sure don't own the road and they paint cyclists in a poor light. Understand I'm not talking about rolling through a four way stop, I'm talking about blatant disregard for the laws of the road. If you're doing intervals and you come upon an intersection like this, then you're not properly planning your intervals. If you ride with a group and the entire group goes through the intersection like this then the group stinks and you're a sheep. I simply don't get it. You are so right.
