don't tar us all as idiots because a minority are

No intention of doing so. Was a cyclist myself until age had its way with me. Would help, tho, if responsible cyclists would at least admit that there are substantial numbers of idiot cyclists (and #'s growing daily) out there & help to self-police the "sport" instead of being apologists for jackasses, as far too many are. ( Not saying your'e one of said apologists).

Cheers,
