Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

Cyclists are the most obnoxious and entitled participants in traffic. They behave like everything belongs to them, they always fly through crosswalks at supersonic speeds looking at the ground because looking up fucks their aerodynamics like they are in some fucking championship (even though in my country you need to step down as you cross the roads or at least fucking slow down and look left and right if you ignore the law that much). Oh and red lights? They don’t seem to apply to them.
Damn, that sounds a lot more annoying than slamming into a pedestrian with a two ton vehicle and killing them.
Gee, a 2 ton vehicle wouldn’t hit them if they weren’t darting across crosswalks without showing any intention they are about to cross or even without looking, running red lights (not the cross walk one, the main intersection red light!) and just having no fucking regard for anything else in traffic. They behave like entire world has to pay attention to them and they can give zero fucks about anyone else. Yes, large majority of cyclists are like that.
It pisses me off because I drive a car and I also ride a bicycle. Just because you’re the weaker one in traffic doesn’t mean sole responsibility for your safety is on others. That’s why I’m so pissed about it.
I’m sorry to hear that’s how it is in your country. Where I am, cyclists nearly walk through crosswalks for safety and commuters do not have supersonic muscles nor endurance. And IIRC you’ve better aero looking up because the helmets are designed that way.
Yawn. What a low energy troll.
Just because I’m not defending asshole cyclists who think they own the roads doesn’t mean I’m trolling. Especially since I’m also a cyclist.
I agree, but wouldn’t you say it’s a mistake to use asshole cyclists to represent cyclists at large?
If cyclist is an asshole, then it applies to them. They know who they are. So many of them are assholes it’s basically the norm. With rare exceptions.
