Oh Come on LD, just because a bike isn't a car, an idiot on a bike can still hurt people pretty bad if they hit them at speed, and more to the point, they can cause accidents. I'm not a motorist or a regular cyclist, but as a pedestrian, I've come closer to being hit by cyclists than cars on a number of occasions (usually when they're going around stationary vehicles at top speed). This is like people slagging off all mothers with buggies just because a few are selfish idiots.
