This past weekend I spent 20 minutes waiting at an intersection for a group of bicycle riders to pass by. I know that they have the right to use the road, but even if they are riding together for a cause, they need to be forced to obey the laws. Quit having police officers direct traffic so that the riders can ride straight through stop signs and traffic signals. I pay as much in taxes to use these roads as any of the riders so they shouldn't be given any priority.
With all candor, I feel the same way with parades and other events like road-runs (marathons, 10Ks...). When I do something, I don't expect it to inconvenience others and I would like the same consideration from them.
