I don't want to make a judgment about what the people on their bikes might be doing, but unfortuantely what Trey says about the majority (not all or close to all, but a majority) of the cyclists around downtown Hamilton are non helmet wearing, smoking, non road rule obeying guys who appear to be "bums". I don't know if that means bike lanes are any more or less needed, but it's true.

As some people here know, I do a lot of driving around the city and like Trey says, most of the people on bikes are as described above. I actually watched one "bum" (or a guy who looked like one) intentionally accelerate.. like full on sprint.. just so that he could catch up to a guy making a signaled right hand turn so that the guy making the turn cut off the guy on the bike. Of course the guy on the bike started yelling and waving his arm in the air in disgust... but I saw the whole thing unfold and it was obvious that the guy on the bike was just being a dick.
