Mr Schram.



As a year around bicycle commuter, I enjoyed your perspective on us.



I have to admit that there are a lot of riders that fit the description you

give. I even got a 175 dollar ticket last year for red light violation. I

explained to the judge that after being hit 3 time by cars turning right

without signaling that had actually accelerated to get in front of me, I

enter intersections concentrating more on the cars around me than the light.

If at all possible, I'm careful not to run yellow or red lights as I'm sure

you are. I haven't survived decades of riding by ignoring traffic laws.



I could easily write a book of my experiences with irresponsible drivers so

I guess this only proves that all commuters are really the same. The

difference is, If I screw around, you get pissed. If you in your car screw

around, I get killed.



Have a great drive into work tomorrow.
