Excuse me, but doesnt that make my point about knee-jerk responses?

Not at all. A knee-jerk response would be hearing about a situation and always assuming that the cyclist was innocent. I'm admitting that cyclists are not innocent in that they break the law, but that usually it is without causing any harm. I'm talking about statistics, and that's very different from knee-jerk.

When I see cyclists going straight through a cross walk with kids, or making no effort to slow when approaching a stop sign to yield to a car making a legal left turn (happens EVERY DAY), it looks bad.

Those things more than look bad, they are bad. But the evidence doesn't support your claim that this is happening every day. If it did, there'd be more crashes.
