I submit to you that the solution to that bike problem isn’t profane, violent, ignorant, abusive, and ultimately, unlawful police actions.

I submit to you that cyclists get it through their heads that they are piloting a vehicle on a public roadway and are subject to all traffic laws. They’re not some at-will hybrid of pedestrian and vehicle, able to shift from on to the other as convenient for them. Do not run stopsigns and red lights. Do not veer back and forth from pedestrian walkways to public roadways as if other traffic is required to give way for you, and do not pass on the right in the same single lane next to the curb, expecting people to magically know you’re there. Do give way for overtaking vehicles. Common courtesy and common sense would go a long way here, but it’s sorely lacking and in fact arrogance is more the rule with cyclists.

Much as I despise most bike riders, I do, throughly, agree with you on this.
