Good for them. I saw a biker on Dearborn this morning swerve into oncoming traffic, weave through pedestrians on one side then have to stop for pedestrians on the other, eventually forcing their way through, to avoid stopping for 30 seconds in a marked and signaled bike lane.

I want to see enforcement for keeping traffic out of bike lanes, but I also want to see the can't/won't/don't stop riders to change their behavior as well. If you're serious about anarchy go plant a bomb or something.
