Daily Dose of BS Sept 12


We have been bombarded with the public service announcements for bicycling in Wisconsin, we just finished up a couple weeks ago with Bikefest and we are seeing more and more bicycles on the road, literally with the painting of the bikes on the streets with the arrows, if you haven’t seen the big white painted signs you are not driving on 16th street among others in La Crosse, the message is Share the Road, and I agree we should share the road, but shouldn’t we also SHARE THE RULES?  How many times have you been in your car and at a stop sign when a bullet of spandex with a helmet shoots right by you and through the stop sign without regards to the oncoming traffic and when there is a car coming the bicyclist will either flip off the car or yell them?  These people are giving bicyclist a bad name.  I’m ok with share the road, but if you are sharing the road with motorized vehicles, then you should share the road rules.
