    What this is attempting to do is map the attention system of the human by showing that the visual-spatial sketchpad can only attend to a finite amount of information before a backlog of information occurs...in essence, multitasking has built-in limitations.

    Some of those outfits are so people dont get hit. Theres alot of stupid drivers out there and Im having to go out and buy a new bike because some jack ass hit mine (while I was on the sidewalk) and bent the frame and both wheels.

    You only notice the bad cyclists, you only notice the bad drivers. Human nature. A lot of cyclists are law-abiding, good, even-tempered folks.
    However,
    Around here I have tons that ride IN the road, on the local highway, impeding traffic, and they flip you off for going around them. I also have been nearly run over by ignorant college studants flying along the sidewalk(where in many places it's ILLEGIL to ride a bike BTW) at high speeds with THEM flipping me off, I guess because I was so terribly dumb as to walk on a sidewalk.
    There's good and bad in every group. I have no issue with cyclists, as long as they follow the road rules, and don't run me over.
