- Stop at the STOP sign. Really. It's the law. Not just a suggestion or a fake-out for the motor vehicles so you can sneak a left hand turn in front and seem to be winning at getting to work first.
- Signal when you turn - I have this same rant against car drivers too - I'm perfectly willing to get out of your way if you would kindly tell me what way that is!! I am not, nor have I ever been, nor likely to ever be, able to read minds.
- Ride with the traffic. Do not pedal towards me swerving like a tightrope walker on crack and figure that it's okay. It's not.
- OMG - wear a helmet. One would think by now you would have heard all the news about helmets saving your life. (Like smoking - how can people STILL think smoking is a good idea?) A helmet might just prevent your dying - when you cross in front of me without signalling or stopping at the sign opposite the right of way - and put you in a permanent vegetative state for the rest of your life. It's also the law.
This is me annoyed at bicyclists who think they own the road.

AMEN to everything exept the helmet part. That was Darwin's gift to the world. If they are dumb enough to bumble into traffic without a helmet, I say let evolution of the fittest eliminate their inadequate genes from the species. :)
It should be illegal, however, to wear spandex. Ever.
