The thing that annoys me is people all around the MIT campus riding on the sidewalks (going fast) with no freakin lights on. Get some damned lights for your bike!

I see just as many idiot car drivers stopping, parking, and driving in bike lanes as you see bicyclists not obeying laws. The difference however is that a bike is not a motorized steel death trap endangering others.

How to discourage anyone from biking in under 2 seconds

This is sort of a long term solution, but some other countries have "traffic gardens", which are basically parks with a little road network in them where kids can practice navigating according to road rules. We should probably build some.
Of course, that doesn't help for people moving here from else where, who haven't ever ridden as adults. I just tell them "wrong way".

It tends to improve over time after a new project is installed. But, people do still do it in other areas, usually trying to avoid convoluted multistage turns or other lackluster infrastructure. Personally it doesn't really bother me as it doesn't seem to actually present any danger.

Yes, because your motor vehicle licensing and registration fees cover all of the costs of building and maintaining roads (news flash, it covers basically nothing and the government pays for the other 99%).

Imagine that, a bicyclist not obeying the traffic rules

I think new bike lanes inspire a lot of new time riders, and as they get a bit more experience navigating in the city, people learn the rules

Licenses for bikes would go a long way to solving some problems. Help enforce rules of the road. A minor fee ($10) could go towards infrastructure. All that road work doesn't pay for itself.

Be careful. The unwritten first rule of r/CambridgeMA is that you don’t post anything that is critical of cyclists. They are watching. They will take away your internet points and then stalk you for weeks across multiple subs.

It drives me nuts that I live in between Harvard and MIT and have to deal with Comcast.

I bet that if you went door-knocking, you'd actually get pretty wide support for municipal broadband, too.
