We have lots of bikes in my town. Hell, we are known for it. Some are bad drivers. Most aren't. It seems to be the same pecentage as with cars. If you can't slow down for bikes then you did not leave early enough.

I have about had it with the 5 trillion decibel harley on my street though. There is no need.

You pretty much have this one wrong. How do you slow down for a bicyclist who is passing you on the right when you've had your turn signal on for quite a while to let them know you're turning right (and you're ahead of them by 100')? Only to get your car slapped as you stop because they definitely aren't slowing down to let you turn..... and then get the bird.

How do you slow down for a cyclist who runs a red many seconds after it has turned that color?

As for percentages... you are way off. I don't see folks driving automobiles running reds at a 50% rate, riding on the sidewalks to create some space for themselves, splitting lanes, etc.

They earn their reputation.
