Yeah it can be applied to anything really.
I road cycled for years, I always followed the street rules.  Always.  Red light means red light. 
I have so many cycling friends who get into accidents and other conflicts with drivers, and yet they think it’s stupid to stop at a red light.  They just don’t connect these two things >

Most bikers I encounter are complete idiots. Like I'd be driving normally and out of nowhere comes a biker on a crosswalk in full speed. Now, I appreciate bikers who actually stop and make eye contact with me as I'm driving towards the crosswalk but man, it's either that or the biker almost dies because I have no time to brake.
And what's up with all the bikers going like 5 kmh IN THE MIDDLE of a road when there's a dedicated sidewalk for bikers right next to them? Drives me insane. >

It seems like most bikers because of observation bias.
If you follow the rules as you should, you’re unmemorable.
As for the sidewalks - its actually less safe on the sidewalk. >

Interesting. Dangerous situations are more valuable to remember, and I remember tons of irresponsible bikers. It is in fact observation bias. But I'm always happy to see those who pay close attention to traffic, and I do remeber some of them aswell. >

Well the same goes for driving.  How many cars do you remember when they haven’t done anything? But you tend to remember the ones who do something dumb
