I disagree, whinge certinaly but you have no "right" per se. Do you think you have some sort of moral high ground because you stick to a 100 in a 100 zone ?

Of course the corollorary of your point is that cyclists that obey the road rules have the right to complain, when they do, you complain back at them :)

I see car drivers breaking the rules all the time, I see bicycles breaking the rules regulalrly, I have no problem with either group doing that. What I do have a problem with is Cars acting in a manner that is unsafe to other road users, I only see this infrequently with motorbikes and pushbikes but with Cars I see it happen regulalry (yes, even though there are more cars then bikes)

Just as an aside, when I stop at Traffic Lights on my pushie, depending on the light, I may have to wait for a car to come to change the light to green to allow me to proceed. On occasion, I have gone through against the red, when I deem it is safe.
