This document discusses the disadvantages of bicyclists not following traffic laws. It notes that bicyclists seem to want the privileges of vehicles but not the responsibilities, such as stopping at stop signs. This endangers other road users. The document argues that if cyclists want equal treatment, they must also obey all traffic laws and face penalties like motorists. It also acknowledges that bicycling reduces emissions in cities with heavy car traffic. However, bicyclists still need to follow rules of the road for safety.
