Not true.  Bicylists are not required to use the shoulder, only advised to
do so.  My point has been in this thread that bicylists DO NOT FOLLOW 
THE REGULATIONS THEY ARE REQUIRED TO.  I don't care if you personally
do.  What I am talking about is what I see on the road.  Cyclists on 
the wrong side of the road, no reflectors, no lights, dark clothing, 
refusing to give ROW, refusing to STOP AT STOP SIGNS, refusing to 
walk their bikes at intersections.... I could go on for days.

So, once the bikers start keeping up with their responsibilites, then
they can start whining about rights.
