	Sigh.  I iwsh they did this around here.  It's really annoying to
have bicyclists run red lights in front of you, weave around you, etc.
Contrary to popular belief, bicyclists ARE bound to the same rules of the
road as drivers.  This is mostly a problem in Cambridge I 've found that
virtually no one there knows about turn signals (motorist or bicyclist)
and everyone seems to make New Mexican turns (always cross to the
opposite lane of traffic when turing)...  Blech.
