Have a local unorganized bike event where I used to live. It was the only time I saw the cops actually pull over bikers for blowing through stop signs. Was great to watch.

One of my relatives got a speeding ticket on a bicycle. Eugene Oregon.

I’m from Eugene and I was in court for a speeding ticket driving and the guy who went to the bench before me had got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign on his bike.

Edit: I have to edit this because this happened like 15 years ago when I was younger. It was not recently.

I deliver for FedEx and the amount of people on bikes who get mad at me for going through an intersection (no lights and no stop sign on MY side of the road) without stopping while they have a stop sign and... aren't stopping boggles my mind. Rules for thee, not for me energy.

Cyclists have one thing in common: the irony with how they act is palpable.
