The "cyclists" from this article really piss me off.

Cyclists Justin Murphy and Greg Johnson, both 24, openly admit that they regularly break traffic laws while biking in the city.

"I never obey a single law," Murphy said flippantly, balancing his black Schwinn fixed-gear near 16th and Walnut streets. "I'm not worried."

"Just because you give respect as a cyclist does not mean you're going to get it by some mysterious bicycle karma," said Julian Root, 24, a bike messenger for TimeCycle.

"As cyclists, we do have equal rights, and I do think equal rights come with equal responsibilities. [But] there's a big difference between a 30-pound bike and a 3,000-pound car."
Sure there's a difference, but like you said, equal rights come with equal responsibilities. Plus, what happens if the drivers of those 3,000-pound cars decide that they don't have to stop for red lights either?

Antoinette and I went riding again. Over the weekend, we bought her some SPD peddles and shoes. And, I even order a Garmin Forerunner 305 and bike speed/cadence sensor for her bike. She really likes riding.
