in my area it seems that bikers have completely lost their minds.
it's not uncommon for them to run red lights, cut across multiple lanes without checking for cars behind them, and all sorts of other batty bullshit.
the point that i believe is often lost in these debates is that bikers and drivers _cannot_ share the same road. you can paint as many pretty lines as you want, but as long as bikes and cars have to share the same pavement, there will be no resolution

It works well in Denmark and Netherlands and several other European countries. Even London is slowly learning. Maybe Americans are just exceptionally stubborn.
