Really ? How many died  on bikes in San Francisco last year ? Wasn't it nearly 100 ?   Of all the bike cases in Anchorage , how many were the bike riders fault ?  I used to work downtown five days a week . There wasn't a single day I didn't see bike after bike run every stop sign they came across.  I'm not talking the slow down California stop , but the full ride right through at 10 to 15 miles per hour . They only stopped at stop lights if the flow of traffic was so much they couldn't get through---and then they didn't wait for the green light.   A bike riders wife once told me about the mind set of bike riders---they thought it was their right to not have to follow the laws of the road because they were reducing pollution by not driving.  Cops seem to agree because so few get stopped or ticketed.
