"As for "singling out bikes", this discussion is about bikes."

this thread was about a misleading headline about bikes, and about motorists views of bikes.

" I've never seen a driver jump onto a sidewalk to avoid traffic (at least not in the the US). I see bikes do that and more every day."

First off, if the sidewalk is clear, Im not sure thats either dangerous or illegal for a cyclist to do. Sometimes its the safest thing to do. Anyway, its obviously something a car cant do - just like crossing 3 lanes of traffic in one go at 70MPH on the beltway is something bikes can't do.

"We wouldn't be having this discussion if cyclists behaving badly wasn't a problem."

I dont see how that follows. Some people who dont like that bikes slow them down want to discourage biking - its quite possible they would claim cyclists are particularly disrespectful of the law, whether that was the case or not.
