*By M. L. Duncan Santa Monica*

(Re: “Riders of the storm,” Nov. 9) Bicycle riders need to adhere to the laws of the road. They are in no way special. They endanger pedestrians by riding on the sidewalk; they do not stop at stop signs; they cut across four lanes of traffic; they entirely ignore safety is a two-way issue; they violate traffic laws constantly.

They are a wild bullet. Our streets are way too crowded to allow these renegades free rein.
