I just spent a week in NYC staying near Central Park. The cyclists I saw all broke traffic laws and rode like fucksticks. I wanted to clothesline a few myself.
Bicycle riders should not be allowed on the road. I applaud this ticket writing cop. |

I can't imagine the arguments he got into with the delivery bikes. "But he want wonton soup!"

Quoted: 87% of Bicyclists be like: Stop sign? not for me. Red Light? not for me. School Bus stopped? Not for me. Bike Lane? Nah I'd rather ride in your lane. 45mph? NAH, 15! Single lane road? Let's ride 4 wide! No Left Turn? Not for me. No right on red? Not for me. Yield sign? LOLNOPE. I'm on the road! I'm on the Sidewalk! Walk my bike accross the pedestrian crosswalk? FUCK YOU!

Quoted: Attn cyclists: Your Lycra doesn't give you right of way. View Quote Actually, the fact that they're on a bike DOES give them right of way. 99% of the time, motorists must give right of way to rule-following, law-abiding cyclists. Cyclists must yield to pedestrians, horses (yep!) and emergency services vehicles. Again, RULE FOLLOWING, LAW ABIDING (I know GD thinks this is impossible for most cyclists ) being key words. Law breaking, inconsiderate, jackasses deserve to be ticketed and fined into poverty. |

I live outside of Portland, OR or as the plague that keeps moving here from San Fran calls it "Portlandia." We deal with the same thing here and the uber liberal city leaders just keep trying to make the city "more bike friendly." The streets in Portland suck frankly and there has been a huge push to repair them. Right, so how should we repair them? The city council thinks we should repair 1 lane on each side to become a bicycle only lane so people in cars would stop interfering with bicycle traffic. I feel like medical science could learn a lot from examining the just idiocy these people think is rationale.

Good, they need to observe and follow the rules of the road like any other vehicle. I understand that as a driver I need to share the road with them, and they need to understand that they have to follow the same laws to use the road the same as I do

As long as they keep adding a bike lane shoulder to any road they repave bike and cars should get along fine anywhere outside of down town. |

I also don't believe any road user is allowed to impede the flow of traffic.

Quoted:
Cop -vs- Bicyclists, who will GD side with? NEW YORK CITY — A scooter-driving NYPD veteran burned through his summons book during the past three years, handing out a record number of tickets to rule-breaking bicyclists pedaling around the Upper West Side.
Officer Joshua Vincek issued 1,249 tickets to bicyclists between Jan. 1, 2012, and Feb. 26, 2015 — far more than anyone else in the police department, according to records obtained by DNAinfo New York. View Quote The NYPD did not respond to requests for comment on Vincek’s singular effort.
But Joseph Bolanos, the president of the West 76th Street Park Block Association, spoke glowingly of the 11-year veteran who works in the Upper West Side’s 20th Precinct. Bolanos, who knows Vincek from his outreach in the neighborhood, credited the officer with helping to curb the bad behavior of restaurant delivery bicyclists and recreational bikers bucking traffic laws along Columbus Avenue. View Quote View Quote I side with the cop. I wish they'd ticket the fuck out of the cyclists here who think the rules of the road only apply to cars and they are special because their chosen mode of transport doesn't need a license, plate, or ins. (Which it should if they are using public roads....which is the reasoning behind requiring those things for cars). |
