Bicyclists need to follow rules

Now that the weather is cooling off, there are more bicyclists on the road.

Every year, there are articles on how these cyclists want more rights while pedaling on the roads. I suggest that they follow these very important rules of the road: STOP at stop signs, STOP at red lights.

For some reason, cyclists feel they are exempt from these rules. I am sorry that these cyclists find it so hard to take their feet off of the pedals and stop, but that's a better choice than being hit by a several-thousand-pound vehicle and then blaming the driver of that vehicle.

The laws of the road are made for all of us, not for you to pick and choose what you want to follow. Please, follow the rules ... not break them.
