Yesterday I saw a cyclist blow through two four-way stops and two stoplights in South Lake Union. Yes, the same cyclist.

Unfortunately this is an all-too-common occurrence as I’m driving around. Four-way stops especially–most cyclists I see just go right through them.

This frustrates me to no end. First, it’s hugely unsafe. Second, it’s hugely unfair. I respect their right to the road, so why don’t they respect the rules of the road in return? A four-way stop is for all vehicles on the road, cyclists included. Only pedestrians are immune. Would cyclists rather be treated as pedestrians? I doubt it.

So what is up with that, Seattle? Are these cyclists (note: I say *these* cyclists, not *all* cyclists) blind or just douchebags?
