Do you know how to ride a bike?

I think the mentality of a bicyclist is usually one of freedom. I mean you don't need a license to ride a bike. (if the police decide to stop you, can they tow your bike away?) You can ride a bike pretty much anywhere you can walk, assuming there isn't a sign saying otherwise. Bikes don't get parking tickets either, although you can get a speeding ticket.

You also are not using gas to transport yourself, so I imagine some people on bikes feel a sense of superiority or entitlement because of that.
