Same with jaywalkers, theyll just walk in front of drivers without even looking, its just supposed to be a way of life here. The kids are pretty good but the adults are 10 times worse.

You are very right. But nobody seems to much anymore. I know when I rode alot, I could get across an intersection as fast as some cars (think Yugo...), and I took full advantage of bike lanes where available. At least in Hawaii they were pretty well cleaned. While I made sure I occupied a lane, if I felt I was obstructing traffic, I'd yield. Or if a driver got a little upset, I'd yield. I used to be able to do a decent track stand waiting for a green light and some folks thought it pretty entertaining...
