Cyclists need to follow the rules in order to command respect, frankly. I wish this wasn’t true but I see dozens of cyclists every week (no exaggeration at all) doing things that are blatantly illegal and definitely dangerous. FLYING through stop signs. Deciding to just “go” at a red light when there seems to be no traffic. Turning wherever they want without signaling. Assuming they have the right of way in pretty much any situation. Multiple riders in parallel formations that make them move into the road anyway. The list goes on, and on, and on. I am not kidding. And that kind of behavior just makes me not want to help. I’m sorry, you have to make sure you are at least doing everything possible to help yourself before you expect drivers to make any more concessions.
