Silly Little Country

Cars and Bicycles

As one who travels using both these media, I think the content of this post from Megan McArdle makes stunningly good sense, though I sure do not understand the title, since in fact the sensible behaviors she suggests for all parties are not remotely the rules (well, except for the cars). Even on a bike, I tend to follow the rules, coming awfully close to full stops at red lights and stop signs - that's the rule, and she is right that it does not make a lot of sense.

In the end the problem is that by showing contempt for the rules, bicyclists invite equal contempt.
