Perhaps it is safer cycling across a crosswalk while the only other traffic is pedestrians, instead of going with the flow of cars when cars turning left or right can run you over.
Perhaps you can run over pedestrians if you do so? FFS, just stop making the ashole moves you accuse car drivers of, if you want to be taken seriously!
Never went to ER with a kid almost by killed by a 100kg male with a racing bicycle, didn’t you?
No, but I did go to the hospital with by boyfriend who got run over while riding straight on a straight road with right of way by a car turning left without stopping at the stop sign, so if all you want to do is throw around anecdotes be my guest. Statistics say way more people (including kids on sidewalks) get hurt by cars.
I dont want to throw anecdotes, but as a walking parent I see way to much cyclists bevaving like assholes.
Is it really this hard to accept that requesting the right of way on a street ( which I wont debate - don’t get me wrong here!), induces giving it to pedestrians too?
All this comments are full of people whining how the are endagered by cars, while using this to justify endangering pedestrian.
I’m saying that statistically cyclists endangering pedestrians is a non-issue because it happens so much more rarely than cars endangering pedestrians or cyclists. Bringing it up all the time only fuels carbrains and car lobbies.
