Cyclist was extra, but I agree with him on principle.
Definitely an irrational hatred of cyclists on a bunch of different levels. Bike lanes should be more prevalent and more respected.
This is wild. I just tested that filter out.
This would make for a great PYP thread....
MF is not paying insurance registration or inspection yet was granted a dedicated lane because...
First of all cyclist use the streets. Have them pay registration fee (small one).Clearly the cyclist was being provocative - but your argument about not paying for insurance etc is nonsense - partly in the same way that if I have a more expensive car than you that doesn’t give me the right to push you out of the way.
Do you know the reason why cyclists don’t have to have specific insurance and inspections? It’s because cars kill tons of people every day and bikes don’t. I don’t have US statistics but in the UK (where bike commuting is higher per capita) 5 people per day are killed in car accidents - and 12 people per year are injured by cyclists. There’s only been one death I can remember ever which was caused by a cyclist running someone down.
Clearly we should be encouraging people to commute by bicycle for a number of reasons and if bike lanes encourages that then I’m all for them - and drivers like this need to be deal with when they are forcing cyclists to pull into the faster moving traffic to pass him (and probably being criticised for that because they slowed someone down...).
