No because why do they think it’s ok to run stop signs. If you’re riding on the road, follow the rules of the road. Or get on the sidewalk

Part of the blame is on the city planners for not building adequate biking infrastructure ngl. But yes do please not cut in front of me I don’t want to kill you at 20 miles an hour.

Cyclists in Boston love to keep going when there’s a pedestrian walk signal… like I’ve read the news I know how often cyclists get hit by cars. You better obey the traffic laws or karma is coming for you

FYI in some states/ cities stop signs are essentially yield signs for bicyclists. Not to say those running red lights are in the right though. The few ruin it for the rest of us

Those poor poor cyclists, having to follow the laws. Don’t you know the road is also for them?

It’s legal in many places and safer for the cyclist. It’s also usually illegal for cyclists to bike on the sidewalks in most urban areas

First shitty take I’ve seen from you tbh. Cyclists are vulnerable road users just like pedestrians, both of which account for massive shares of traffic fatalities despite being minorities on the road. People say this then refuse to treat cyclists like any other slow moving vehicle that was occupying a lane, opting to buzz you instead of simply moving over. Sometimes defensive riding is the safest thing to do
