Not only that, cyclists pose a large hazard to physically smaller persons, especially children, near school zones. It never ceases to amaze me when the government put up those "dismount and push" signs when they should have posted "No cycling, 6-months jail. $50 reward for first person who reports crime." instead.
Therre should be a cycle-at-your-own-risk law that nullfies all indemnity of motorists to cyclists travelling on any road on their bicycles; there are too many Dukes of Hazard amongst the ranks of cyclists around here.
