Dude, I put over 4k miles in on my road bike last spring and summer, I never saw a road cyclist cause an accident for a motorist (close calls due to stupidity on the cyclist's or driver's part? yes, but no accidents.). That was riding solo and with a team that at times reached 50-60 people in a group.dont even get me started roadies cause just as much accidents to motorist as other motorist do.
True.And if a motorist wrote a similar story about disregarding traffic rules it would probably get a very different reaction here.
the guy that wrote that article is a prick.
Amen. I also do some illegal things if there is no traffic. I am also the "one" person on our local club rights that stops when there is traffic. Everyone else just goes.Kinda funny, kinda clever, but too self-centered. Fact is that every time a motorist sees you blow a light or intentionally block a car (like blocking someone trying to go right on red), you increase that motorist's resentment of all cyclists. That may be unreasonable but it's also reality. Not saying I don't break the rules now and then - I freely admit that I'm a little bit hypocritical on this one.

I think you missed that we are on the same side on this deal. I rarely ride road lately. Mostly because the roadies here don't behave.f-150 but that is okay. ohh and im not an ass to all cyclist. just the ones that dont respect other cyclist. which most of the roadies i meet ummmmm dont so thats why imlthumbsdown: when it comes to roadies. i mean i understand being a little cocky when it comes to your abilities but most of the ones that i have meet take it a little far so that is where i find my problem with them, and they think that they are so much better than motorist. so i apologize for my ass hole comment, and i do need to get to know you before i really throw something like that out there.
