100% of cyclists blatantly ignore stop signs.
Both of your 100%s are 100% BS.

Feel free to ride with me someday and prove me wrong. *You won't.
You'll be shocked at what you see. *I stand by my statement. *100% of

Most common infraction is blowing through stop signs at speed. *It
sounds incredible, but it is true - ALL cyclists that I encounter ride
like they want to be hit. *There's a fair number of cyclists around
where I live, too - my commute to/from work takes me across a bike
trail, so there's a lot of cyclists that I assume are getting on/off
the bike trail and riding on the same roads on which I'm driving.

Your original statements were that 100% of bicyclists were doing
illegal things, not that 100% of the bicyclists you observed were
doing so. *Therefore, your original statements were blatantly wrong.
I stand by *my* statement.

So the ones I don't see are perfectly law-abiding? Somehow I doubt
that.
