I told myself i was going to comment on this topic this time but I cant help it. I am a bike rider. I love riding my bike. It is my hobby. I am mindful of the areas I ride. I dont choose busy roads and stay off the road during busy times. All bikers arent buttholes. Yes you have the ones that ride in the middle of the road just because they can but the majority follow the rules of the road and use common courtesy to automobiles. With all this being said, If i buy a tag and install mirrors, brakes lights, etc what good would this do to your perception of a cyclist? I will answer this for you.....nothing. You will still be pissed that I am riding on the road eventhough I was forced to buy a tag. I dont mind buying a tag and would gladly do so if the money went towards building bike lanes. The bigger issue here is not safety. People get pissed at cyclist because it slows you down for at the most a minute. If you are in musch of a freakin hurry leave earlier. Does it make you feel like more of a man by stomping on the gas when you pass us? Why not just go on by like a normal person? Why not pass us like you do the tractors? Do you get pissed when the big John Deere is going down the road with his oversized disk and taking up both lanes? Probaly not but infact he is doing the same thing, slowing your commute. Its all about common courtesy these days or the lack there of. By the way, does the farmer have to buy a tag for his tractor? Nothing against farmers as the area I live in her in SW Alabama is full of them but why single out cyclist to buy tags? Why not make everything that goes on the road buy a tag? Last thing and I will grab my popcorn and set back and watch. Thinking all cyclist are like the ones that ride down 280 at 5pm on a Friday evening is like thinking all deer hunters are the redneck, dog running, deer killing just for the heck of it kind of people. There are good and bad people in everything.
