I thought it was only Liberals that take a couple of anecdotal incidents and uses them to stereotype and vilify an entire population of otherwise innocent people.

I could tell you a lot of stories about a person carrying a handgun, who went into a rage and killed a bunch of people. Is everyone with a handgun nuts!? Does everyone with a handgun have no regard for the law?

This is the kind of ‘logic’ you are using. You belong on DU, not here.

No, the anecdote is one of the more blatant example of the 100% of the behavior I've observed. Every single cyclist I see violates traffic laws. Every Single One.

If I saw one, just one, bicyclist who obeyed traffic laws, and then I applied him to the rest of the group, that would be anecdotal and defying logic. Of course, I have yet to.

Maybe my observations only apply to bicyclists in Cleveland who bike during rush hour. I'm willing to concede that maybe we have a special subgroup of bicycling asshats here, and they don't represent the rest of the country.
