comment Do cyclists warrant special consideration under traffic laws?
Sure the laws can be different, or have different sections for cyclists. But unless those laws specifically say you can ignore other laws, you don't get to do so. And I'd argue that a law that says "ignore this other law" is badly written ;)

comment What are the reasons for and against wearing a bicycle helmet?
Note that if you're helmet sloshes around a bit, it's not fitted right.

comment Is complaining to companies about bad driving like howling at the moon?
+1 for pointing out that we cyclists also need to be better in our attitude and behaviour if we expect other drives to respect us.
