What is truly offensive is that while the street maintenance backlog in Portland grows, Sam is using transport tax dollars paid for by motorists for fancy couplets, streetcars, curb extensions, and widening sidewalks where they already exist in addition to paying for bicycle infrastructure the bicyclists want and expect somebody else to pay for.

To answer your question: There are four times the percentage of bicyclists that routinely violate traffic laws as compared to motorists violating traffic laws. This has been proven over and over again by TV stations and the occasional police stings on well traveled bicycle routes. The majority of polls that address the subject with the general public also support a similar percentage ratio. While most aggressive drivers eventually get cited by law enforcement, aggressive bicycling is allowed to proliferate because people like Sam continue to be skeptics and disregard to the percentages of bicyclists involved, are submissive and sympathetic in allowing such bicycle behavior to continue, and are unreceptive to correcting the problem bicyclists through the enforcement of traffic laws instead preferring to spend roadway dollars to make accommodations such that bicyclists have superiority in all situations and don’t have to follow the same laws. One example of the latter is lining up all stop sings on bike routes so only the cross traffic, and not bicyclists, have to stop. That can also be called one-sides, bias and discriminatory.
