In all 50 states, people on bikes are required to follow the same laws as other drivers.
Yet, I have seen a bike riders pass several parked cars to flat out fly though mid cycle red lights. Drive down the center line passing slow cars on both sides. Do 20+MPH down a sidewalk past driveway exists with limited visibility etc etc.
That's way past 10%.
Bikes are required to take a full traffic lane and obey traffic laws, or use a bike lane. Anything else is both illegal and begging to be hit.
PS: I have personally seen 2 minor bike-car accidents both times the bike was breaking the law. [Car making right hand turn bike passed them on the right side, car pulling out bike hit them on sidewalk]. And a host of near misses where the bike was breaking the law every single time.
