A minor confrontation yesterday... I'm out
riding my bicycle, some nut job on another

committed the crime of running a stop sign

still yelling. I ignore him. He's foaming at the
mouth. I run another stop sign, he blows another
gasket, hahaha! It's worth the price of admission.
Finally he peels away.
Ignore him.
That being said, it does annoy me when bike riders **** and moan about
having the right to ride on the streets, but then they can't even
follow simple rules and traffic signs.
No kidding.. Though the '**** and moan' bit kinda points out a bias..
I'd refer you to your local rules/regs for vehicles, but I'm not sure
what it says in your area... If it's anything like up here though, it
would be right up there with ****ing/moaning about motorcycles using the
road..

That said, there are assholes in all mediums, and cyclists are not
immune. Case in point would be the standard big-city bike messenger.
They'll weave, bob, cut off, hop onto sidewalk, whatever it takes.

Go to a third world country, ****, or even Europe, and soon you don't
give a **** about what the bikes/motorcycles/scooters are doing and
let them worry about themselves.

There's a lot to be said for "right of weight"
