It could go on for days. Basically you have a chip on your shoulder. No 
locale requires people to walk their bikes across intersections. I have 
no doubt that you see ANY bike on the roadway and you say 'There is 
another law breaking biker,' while you speed down the road doing 40 in a 
30 and rolling slowly through the next stop sign.

Your comments show that you are not only ignorant of state and local law 
concerning bicycles, you are ignorant of what is safe behaviour of a 
bicycle on the roadway. 

I could say that every time I drive my car I see a motorist breaking the 
law but I do not see cyclists breaking the law everytime. Therefore, we 
should abolish all motor vehicle rights from roadways. The suggestion I 
make is STUPID although my observations are true. Your suggestions from 
your limited scope of the world (and vivid imagination) are as equally 
stupid.
