I don't think that really matters. If a cyclists wants to be reckless 
and endanger their own life, that's their choice, but what they are not 
doing is navigating a ~2000lb weapon which could easily kill others. It 
is certainly possible for a cyclist to harm and perhaps kill others upon 
collision, but FAR less likely.

In other words, cyclists breaking the law are more of a nuisance where 
motorists doing the same are more of a threat to other people.
