Reply to comment by nygrl811 in $27M grant could finish Providence's bike lane network, but Smiley noncommittal by lestermagnum

The belief that everyone on a bike is some lawless asshole is a wrong one. There have been a bunch of studies about it and I linked a couple below.

Also since you're so concerned about people on bikes obeying traffic laws, when you're in your car I assume you come to a complete and full stop at every stop sign? You must also obey every speed limit every time, never daring to go 30+ in a 25...

Of course, drivers have a great track record around here of obeying traffic laws and being generally respectful.
