Are we Humans? Or are we Bicyclists?

Did the bicyclists of NYC take some sort of oath that says you are neither a human nor a vehicle? As a pedestrian waiting to cross the street, I see you whiz by with the cars and trucks. But then as I cross and have the right of way, you also are zooming down the street sometimes honking a horn or shouting obscenities at those of us who are in your way.

Please ride with the cars, and if you don't feel secure enough to do that, leave the bikes at home and walk. Riding on the sidewalk is not OK either.

* Title inspired by The Killers hit song-what can I say, when your hub listens to something enough, it sticks in your head.
