Agreed. But staunch (360 commuting days a year) cyclist that I am, I recognize
that there are times (though limited) when a car is the most viable option.
If I had to drive (if I currently owned a car) I would like to be able to think
that trying to abide by the rules would keep me from being harrassed. This
would not appear to be the case.

To start another thread here, how about the hypocrisy of CU when they claim
that they try to encourage alternate transportation and then they cover more
more of the campus with parking spaces while actively discussing making more
more of the campus a dismount zone. I've spoken to alot of people in the
past who cited the difficulty of finding a place to park on campus as one
of the main reasons that they rode a bike to school. Make parking easier and 
one more incentive to get out of your car is gone.

Bike for the earth. Bike for life.
