    I live in North Boulder on a street heavily used by cyclists. If I were to put a video camera out front, I'd have a very simple time recording AT LEAST 200 cyclists per hour, all day, any day of the week, blowing through the 4-way stop sign as if it didn't exist.

    I've been given the finger on multiple occasions when I proceeded at a 4-way stop when it was my turn....because a cyclist didn't see it their duty to stop at all.

    A cyclist got honked at a bit? I'm weeping in sympathy...oh, the tragedy of it all

    you should set up a cam and send it to the boulder police. email it to them and the boulder camera every day all day. maybe some state senators and congressman and get a bill set up to put these asshats in their place. either follow the laws of the road or get off it.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Now that's the best damn idea I've ever heard! I see it in Denver all the time and one of these days they're going to get creamed (I'm very fearful that I'll be the one to do it and get sued). What the hell? Maybe there needs to be some letter writing to our state legislature for more of an eye turned to this issue and perhaps educating the public a little better that if they disregard the law they could die. We don't need more laws (well maybe a licensing requirement to have a bike on roads), but we do need more attention on things like this.
