Now, I\'ll be the first to tell you that I am not originally from Wisconsin, so therefore I am giving my local Madison collective the benefit of the doubt here by my admitting that *maybe* I just am unfamiliar with local law. If I were familiar with local regulations, maybe I would know that:

• Cyclists can run any red lights
• Cyclists do not have to use hand-signals
• Crosswalk lights are provided for decoration only in order to give you something to look at while you run out in front of vehicles, which is perfectly acceptable
• Parking garages are just practice tracks for NASCAR wannabes. The whole object is to see how fast you can jet down a lane while trying to get up under the person in front of you, break \'em loose, and run \'em into the wall
• If when driving down a parking garage aisle, you must make very sharp turns as to end up cutting anyone off that may be trying to leave the parking garage. After all the longer you\'re there, the more money they make.

Now at this point in my morning, I haven\'t yet had my full cup of coffee. *Maybe* a few swigs while on the highway so you can\'t blame my bad attitude on \"not having decaf\" etc. But where I come from people, cyclists had to obey the same traffic laws as anyone else, (this goes for you McScooter morons out there as well). When the \"Don\'t Walk\" sign is lit up, you wait. I suppose if it actually clear you can hustle yer wide ass across the street, but if you choose to do so, get it movin\' are I\'m gonna run it over. As for parking garages...move the hell over, slow the hell down, and watch what the hell is happening in front of you.

Is there something in the water...really...
