Can someone tell me why "majority" of the cyclists DON'T obey the road laws and rules? I thought in the state of Florida, a bicycle is considered as legal as a motorized vehicle, and the bicycle rider must obey the same as the motorized drivers.

Even, if we build bike lanes, then when a red light turns red and the non-bike vehicles all stop, would a cyclist just zoom on past the intersection in the bike lane?

Great article on that topic, however, it is not just quite relevant to what's going on HERE in the local scene especially Jacksonville. We are in the middle or near the point where we could use the opportunity, money, and resources to set the roads development, the RIGHT way. That's why there are topics and relevant that revolves around them that are causing hot buttons to slam.

Again, the article should be taken into consideration for our current plannings.
