How many motorists are also cyclists?

Does this make them considerate to cyclists when in the car?

Do they follow the laws of the road when on their bikes?


I can't stand the selfish cyclists who think the rules of the road do not apply to them when they are on two wheels:

-cycling through red lights
-speeding onto pavements to get through red lights
-weaving dangerously through cars in traffic
-cyclists who refuse to use designated cycle paths
-cycling in 'herds' so you can't safely overtake (instead of single file)

A pavement-riding cyclist was jailed last week because he killed a pensioner during his escapades (http://tiny.cc/yhr6Q) but by and large the police turn a blind eye to this behaviour. They should do more.

And cyclists should stop trying to take dangerous and illegal shortcuts and simply accept that a journey by bike will simply take longer than a journey by car!
