Exasperating Bicyclists

I love riding bicycles, but hate stopping at stop signs, or feeling constrained by one-way signs. Other riders feel the same way. It can cause problems.

Last night, I approached I Street, heading north on 21st Street. I prepared to make the left turn there, and I had the green light. Nevertheless, two bicyclists appeared out of the darkness, heading east, the wrong way on I Street, and they went right through the light. I had to come to a screeching halt to avoid hitting them. Interestingly, after everyone stopped, they asked me if I was all right. Very solicitous roadkill! Very polite! Quite exasperating!
