High Noon: Bike V. Vehicle

On Scanner Traffic this morning, there are three incidents involving bicyclists. The most humorous, of course, is the motorist who complained about triathlete bikers training for Ironman Coeur d’Alene peeing on the side of the road in public. In another incident on Canfield Avenue, a female bicyclist was passed by a man in a gray van who stopped and cussed her out.

Question: Do you think most bicyclists ride defensively and observe rules of road?
