I've ranted here before about people ignoring traffic laws just because they're on a bike. However, yesterday I saw a new record for disregard for laws and general saftey. I witnessed a female cycelist riding the wrong way down a one way street, through a red light, while jamming to tunes on her iPod (or possible other listinging device). So two counts of illegal and an additional count of stupid.
Not that I haven't lisned to music while on my bike before, but ear buds do tend to limit your awareness of your surrondings. If you can't hear cars coming at you that's proabably bad, especially if your running a red light going the wrong way!
Anyway just had to rant about that. Get a bike! But try not to make cyclists look like morons.
