>If you want car drivers to respect bikers, stop running red lights and stop signs. As a cyclist who doesn't run red lights and stop signs, I haven't noticed any improvement in people's attitudes toward me when I tell them I'm a commuter cyclist. And why should I? I do it to get from A-to-B safely. I'm not some sort of cycling ambassador. When a car behaves dangerously, that guy is an asshole. When a biker behaves dangerously, bikers are assholes.
