My son is a hard core bicyclist and showed me the video. First off you do NOT have to say in the bike lane. You can ride in the road but you have to obey the traffic laws. Secondly the crashes were all staged.

You can ride in the road but you have to obey the traffic laws.

In here it looks like bicyclist can choose what ever traffic laws suit them best at any particular moment; pedestrians vs bicyclists vs motor vehicles.. Nothing more dangerous on my drive to work than a middle aged guy in hi-tech bicycling gear thinking he's 20-something again and invisible or the wannabe bohemian with his crappy jopo-bike (http://www.retrotogo.com/2008/04/helkama-jopo-bi.html) :D
