There needs to be more of this. As a relatively new biker in NYC (since the bike sharing program launched) I've been amazed at the suicidal tendencies of my (non-bike share) brethren. At a red light? Just pedal out into the middle of the road to see if you can cross anyway. Going the wrong way? Sure!

You should see the nutters on fix wheeled bikes in London I have seen so many that blast through major junctions dodging between pedestrians.

Try watching the junctions around Holbourn tube station and you will see several in a few minuets.

This is definitely true. Bicyclists on public roads have (most of) the same responsibilities as drivers, which means penalties for breaking the rules.

Is that not common? In Denmark where we have a lot of bikes, we have rules specifically written for bicyclists.
