yeah...but most of them are going to die real soon now

at least they would if I had any say in it

one isn't all that vulnerable on a bike in urban traffic...over a few 
yards at low speeds it's pretty easy to out accelerate most cars...just 
through being so much lighter...so, unfortunately, they may well get away 
with being idiots

which is a pain for those of us who try to ride properly
