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

    One of these is commutiing and not paying attention

    Kind of a gross generalization.

    I do not begrudge someone working their body in a public space

    Neither do I and I never said I did.

    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

    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.

      Kind of a gross generalization.

      Do you even look at your fellow motorists? Its hard to go more than 5 minutes without seeing someone texting and driving.

      Neither do I and I never said I did.

      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.
