Tell you what. I'll come to a safe, full stop at every stop sign and red light, if you agree to do the same when you're on your bike, AND, if you don't ride your bike at full speed through a zebra-stripe crossing without looking. I'm absolutely amazed at the bike riders that cross Park Street by the community Center without even looking.
In case you're not familiar with that particular law, motorists yield to pedestrians and bicyclists when they're IN the crossing...motorists are not supposed to initiate a panic stop when a bicyclist sprints across a zebra-stripe crossing without even looking for traffic that's on the road and only a few feet from the crossing.
Ironically, I'm a bicyclist, and I'm fed up with the way that aggressive bicyclists make people hate everyone on a bike...
