[BVC-CHAT] "Why do they hate us?"

[Thomas Woodfin]

I read that article this morning.  He's right about the presumptive attitude of many cyclists riding the rural roads east and northeast of Houston. Why cyclists would not be polite and respectful when riding in the area is a mystery to me.  But I've also been watching the proliferation of cyclists on the TAMU campus and surround streets this past week as school starts. Their inability to understand that they need to obey the rules of the road as a vehicle is also mysterious.  It is as though they remember only riding their home driveways and front yards when they were 10 years old.
