I'm not sure about Seattle, but in Portland there seems to be two types of bicyclists.
The first type wear their cycling outfits, right down to the shoes that slip onto the pedals. They signal, go with the flow of traffic, have lights that make them easy to see, WEAR HELMETS, and so on. I like those people. I'm happy to give them their fair share of the road.
The other type are the ones that pedal down the center of the road, change direction without warning, think that traffic laws don't apply to them, and get pissed at drivers that try to avoid them. I appreciate that they are doing their part for the planet, but even cyclists have to follow traffic laws! It's people like that who give cyclists a bad name, and irritate drivers.
So, final note: HELMETS!
