Palo Alto is going to such great lengths to accommodate the Bicycle Nazi's that they pave the bicycle routes and paint the bike lanes green, while the rest of the streets in Palo Alto fall into disrepair. The City Council is planning to make car travel more impossible through out the city by going to great lengths to but up barriers and speed bumps in the road and decrease parking spaces in the shopping districts.

Bicyclists run increasing rampant in that city as probably Seattle. They generally ignore ALL traffic laws. I've seen them run stop signs in front of cops and the cops never do anything, try doing that in an automobile. Get in a Bicycle-list induced close call with your car and be prepared to get chewed out and your door kicked in.

I'm all for them having more bike accessible roads but they need to follow the laws like everyone else and they need to yield to cars on narrow tight mountain roads instead of trying to race them downhill.
