Just to close this out, out of respect for the lives of Milton, the cop, Josh all others cited above... I'm not really a cyclist. I like it, its fun, and I ride safe on the handful of rides I have each year.
You're not a pedantic little shit. You're arguing with a jerk.
Equating cyclists running stop signs to drivers killing cyclists in bike lanes is ridiculous, especially given that the cyclist in the example pled guilty to homicide and drivers are - literally - never prosecuted for killing cyclists.
Don't be so quick to demean yourself in the face of asinine attacks.
But I might be a pedantic little shit. ;)
