Agreed. Bike riders are a hazard, regardless of how entitled they feel to the road. They're slower than traffic, they cause dangerous situations by forcing cars to go around them or slow to a crawl behind them, and they should be relegated to designated bike lanes.

I can understand why they aren't allowed on sidewalks - they can injure pedestrians, because they're bigger and faster than them. Kind of like the same way that cars are when they're in the street.

One of the CNN commenters on that article said it best:

"The laws of man may favor you, but the laws of physics mean in any altercation you will be a pancake."
