Cyclists are only people on bikes. Same quota of decent folks , same quota of @rsholes. No different to walkers and motorists . As a regular cyclist I despair at the stupidity of many cyclists in cities . Away from cities people seem better behaved .

Good to hear that, I was under the impression that most cyclist's have Kamikaze gene I must be missing!

I use bike lanes except when no lane exist and I use the road then. When on the roadway or the bike lane I travel in the direction of travel and keep over as appropriate, except when the roadway is too narrow and then I ride in the center of the roadway.
1) I have had cars pull into me to "teach" me a lesson
2) A car nearly hit me and caused me to be arrested (eventually settled)
3) Bicycles go the wrong way and run me off the road
4) Joggers enter the street with out looking and nearly run me off the road
5) A cop entered the roadway blind and I nearly ran over him
6) People park their cars in the bike lanes
7) Accident debris and Glass gets swept into the bike lane
8) The county just build a nice bike lane over a new bridge ... and they put a grate in the lane!
Long story short, as far as I can tell, all humans are inconsiderate a-holes and no matter how hard you try or where you go they will still be there. And the worst thing is the more considerate you actually are the less considerate the masses will think you are. After all, who is the Jerk, the hipster on the sidewalk or the pedestrian pointing out the protected bike lane to the hipster, chew on that.

I read CP news everyday and find it actually informative unlike a few other "Tech / Developer" communities.
However isn't today's listed article "Woman drops cell phone in toilet, two die in rescue attempt" a little bit too tabloid and not actually informative at all?

I am happy with some piece of news reminding me that although we are mistreating her every day, Mother Nature still solves these kinds of "problems" by herself.

I totally agree!
I take it for another incidental proof that on the April 30th (2014) at 2pm there was another non IT news!
This is insufferable!

Now you know I *had* to go back and look at the headlines on April 30.
Was it the missile one? Sorry man, breaks my heart to not give 100% 100% of the time (or some sports analogy. I was never good at them. 110%? 200% of the time?)

Yes, very well done Kent, it was the Missile news! 
I count on you to give 200% in the future! 
Though, just like you, I noticed people like to give a random amount between 101-200% I always wondered, while we are at it, why not give 432977825% hey?

I couldn't remember where I'd read about about this, luckily Google reminded me that Fred wrote about a blue one. I absolutely loved those stories.
Another famous kiwi was in a movie about it, it didn't do well! He's better at making Pinot Noir.

I presume you mean that Famous Irish Dinosaur Expert/Son of Satan?

That's the one, he has a couple of paddocks planted in Pinot Noir. I hunted for his wines and bought a red one last october. I keep it on the piano.
