I'll walk my bike for safety when a motorist pushes her car on the
road for the same reason.

no kidding... i had a near miss at a suburban intersection,when some
stupid teenage yahoo blithely sailed through a stop sign. Fortunately, i
had the sense to stop, fishtailing in the process...teenagers driving
their parents cars are the worst.

Lets see, this week alone I've seen:
4 bikes on the sidewalk, despite a city wide ordanance against it. One
of which had a bike lane adjacent to the sidewalk.
3 bikes run red lights, two of them making left turns, one going straight.
1 rider that came within inches of running over a pedestrian attempting
to board a bus
1 rider attempting to signal a right turn -with his right hand
2 riders side by side blocking the lane on a road that is notoriously
curvey and hilly with only for one spot for passing -average speed less
than 5 mph, speedlimit for vehicles-45 (and most do 55)
I attempt to follow the rules of the road, and at the same time be
courteous to others, both cyclist and other drivers. At the same time, I
figure I've got at least a half-ton of steel and plastic protecting my
delicate skin, where as the cyclist has zip. A 35mph fender bender will
probably not give me an injury. It potentially could kill someone not
protected. And, it's my experience that if you continue a pattern of
foolish actions, the laws of probability catches you.
