Bicycle brigands

Re “Blazing Trails to Urban Freedom,” by John Balzar, Nov. 2: There should be no debate among cyclists about the need to stop at all red lights if they would simply learn and obey the rules of the road that apply identically to motorists and cyclists, as delineated in the California Driver Handbook. Most cyclists are either ignorant of their responsibilities and rights or are overwhelmingly indifferent to them, considering themselves privileged, with no obligation to know or observe the law. Cyclists’ observance of the rules would surely eliminate most of the friction with motorists.
