I broke the speed limit on my bicycle. I mean yeah, the speed limit was 15, and the motor on my bike tops out at 20, and I had to go looking for a speed limit lower than 25, and I wasn’t pedaling, and the speedometer on my bike said 17.4mph. damn breaking the speed limit on your bike feels really good. I really accomplished something today.
Add one crime to the list. I’ll take the ticket if you want to serve it online police i am proud
The car is 2 tons of protective steel. The man on the bicycle is made out of flesh and bones and a little bit of aluminium scaffolding pole, maybe some carbon fiber. One of these is commutiing and not paying attention. The other is engaged in exercise and controlled risk (controlled risk in the same way some people opt to ride motorcycles). I do not begrudge someone working their body in a public space.
They have exactly the same right to be crawling up the hill at 3mph as I do in a crawler gear driving a truck up hill. We’re both holding up traffic, but you don’t get upset at me because my goods vehicle would crush your passenger car like a bug. Why the contradiction?
If you can’t see the difference in potential energy (and potential probability for a fatal outcome) then you’re just as lost.
Kind of a gross generalization.
Neither do I and I never said I did.
Sure, and people would be irritated at that too. Even the bicyclists. No contradiction here.
All I said is that all vehicles on the road are supposed to abide by the same traffic laws. The kamikazes on bikes break the law just as often (sometimes more so) than cars. I wish there was a bike lane there but there isn’t.
Do you even look at your fellow motorists? Its hard to go more than 5 minutes without seeing someone texting and driving.
Then why are you complaining about their legitimate use of the public space we all have an equal right to?
The traffic laws as applied to bicycles are stupid and a result of shite infrastructure that forces them to share the road with cars. And don’t “bUt iTs ThE lAw” me either.
Got it, bicycles deserve access to the roads but don’t have to abide by the same rules. kthxbye.
Motherfucker do your legs have to get your suburban up to 30 again after a red light?
You sure have assumed a lot about me. Read my posts again and think. Until then, we’re done here.
Go grab your plastic wheel and turn it side to side like a big manly man honk honk
