In “If Kant Were a New York Cyclist” talks about how he believes that cyclists should not obey the traffic because they are not predestines and are not motor vehicles.  I think that in the cases Randy Cohen describes where he only breaks the traffic laws when there are no pedestrians or cars in the area that could case harm to himself or that he could cause harm to.  If this is the case I do not think someone should receive a ticket if they do not hurt anyone.  In “Is It OK to Kill Cyclists” Daniel Duane expresses his concerns with the help of facts show casing the alarming rates which cyclists are being killed.  Both articles contradict because one tells cyclists to break the rules of the road and the other tells cyclists to be care and watch out because at any moment they could unexpectedly be hit by a car.  Cohen talks about how in Amsterdam there are many bikes and they have their own set of rules.  I visited Amsterdam this summer and there is an extremely big bike culture.  When i traveled all throughout the city everywhere we went there were people riding bikes and also hundreds of bikes chained up on the sidewalks.  I don’t know which author i agree with on one hand I don’t think bikes should have to stop at stop signs but also I wouldn’t want to get killed by a bike.
