Joining the 19th Century

Self-righteous hipster bicyclist let me explain a few things. You are not going to race professionally so there is no reason to wear the tightest Tour De France biking leotards. As far as actually riding your little bike around, if you want respect from motorists and receive the same or better rights of way, you probably should obey the laws of the road. Including such items as stop lights. Don't forget riding in the proper direction on a one way road and staying off the sidewalks would be nice as well. And strapping your hugely expensive Italian racing bike to that giant SUV to get to the most lush and natural locals seems a bit incongruous. Did I mention that at least an initial application of deodorant would go over very well?
