Yes, of course it does. Just as cars go through red lights on a daily
basis, train passengers fare dodge on a daily basis, people have overdue
library books and walk on the grass on a daily basis.

The fact that car drivers, train passengers, pedestrians who walk on
the grass and people with overdue library books break the rules does
not excuse cyclists. Still, throw some mud and see if it sticks.

Doesn't mud-throwing generally involve general crimes and a specific
person?

And non-sequiturs are a thing too.
