I am STRONGLY critical of bike-riders and I do not drive. In my
experience a far larger proportion of drivers are law-abiding than are
bike-riders. There are certainly many more automobile drivers that
violate laws, but that is because there is more automobile usage in public
situations than bike-riding. When walking on the sidewalk, I am fairly
sure that I am unlikely to be hit by a car; would that it were the same
with bicycles.
