I have NO problem sharing the roads with cyclists. However, as I've been passed on the right by cyclists downtown, witness them go straight through red lights, and go against the flow of traffic, I'd like to see the Fargo Police really enforce the rules of the road for cyclists as I don't believe they should have any special privileges over regular motorists. Also, if they plan on doing these "Critical Mass" rides, make the event REQUIRE a permit and police escorts. I just witnessed a critical mass ride in the Twin Cities and it was the most unorganized mess I've ever seen. They basically take ownership of the road from unknowing motorists causing mass confusion and setting up traffic for accidents. You want to ride on the roads, please obey the rules like the rest of us and make your statements on your own private property or the parks...
