Hello, as a cyclist who's ridden 20 years or so, I am comfortable in traffic and riding on the roads. However, I feel that bike lanes are helpful to give newer riders a clearly defined area to ride in. I feel that cars and bikes should follow the same road rules and receive the same penalties. One of my biggest peeves is when I'm stopped at a light on my bike and some other idiot on two wheels blows through in front of other drivers and riders. At the same time, I think Idaho's law of cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs is a good one.
