I don't see too much of that in Seattle, but about a week ago when I was
commuting home on my bike I almost T boned some guys on bikes.  I was going
downhill, though a green light and three or four guys apparently got
impatient waiting for their turn and crossed against the red right in front
of me such that I had to hit my brakes so I wouldn't hit them.  As they
started to cross I expected a bunch of yahoo racers or stupid kids but I
noticed that all the bikes were lugged steel, and one was for sure a
Rambouillet.

I guess its not always us vs. them!
