Please, many cyclists don't do this either.
Again, while not safe, it's not illegal.
This is a complete different story as I do this myself. However, I don't support people talking on the phones without bluetooth or headsets.
This is funny. As a cyclist, I don't do this.
It's really a matter of when to do stuff when it's safely. Do I really follow the 50 km/hr speed limit. Generally, I drive with the flow of the traffic. Do I make a complete stop at stop signs? No, but I slow down enough to make sure I check twice to not run into anyone.
I'm sick and tired of this cyclist vs. cars debate here at SSP. In reality, both groups have many problems and it will always be that way.

I would think that protesting against "illegal" things is kind of silly, don't you think?
The whole idea of a protest to raise public awareness to a practice or cause that is
currently "legal" to do something about it.
All that being said, when reading the newspaper the other day, I did have a distinct feeling that the writer had a personal grudge to bear.
Only negative comments were also shown as feedback, whereas they usually try to publish both sides. I was surprised not to see anything positive. I expect the news to be reported, not opined.
That's what the opinion column is for.
