I get that there are lousy cyclists, and I am truly embarrassed by them. But that is no excuse for drivers to behave recklessly around them. w/r/t the notion that cyclists sharing a sidewalk with pedestrians (a practice I would never condone) is "just as bad" as drivers sharing the road with cyclists, that's just stupid. A two ton machine can kill people. Pedestrians being killed by cyclists is nearly unheard of. It happened once in Central Park last year and the event was so extraordinary that bicycle blogs were talking about it for weeks.
