Gosh, almost as if cyclists need safe spaces to ride. How about we just drastically reduce the number of 2 ton deathmachines on the roads.

Living in a big Dutch city. Cyclists just be like: I have to be careful not to hit any more dumb suicidal tourists. For fuck sake, I have had to repair my bike twice this week already.

And in these modern times everyone needs to be careful of young kids on fat bikes.

What about fat kids on young bikes?

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fat kid is child abuse (unless medical condition) and the young bike needs to be rated for the weight otherwise it's also child abuse (/jk). But older bikes usually have steel wheels while younger bikes have aluminium bikes, so the weight capacity is larger with older bikes (not that it matters for kids though, but it does matter when having someone on your luggage carrier).

Pedestrians don't even look up from their fucking phones when they cross the road. I even saw a dude doing it while pushing a pram once.

I've had two bicyclists run a red light right in front of me as I was pulling out on a green.

One was horrified and apologic.

The other yelled at me for almost hitting him.

I do occasionally see a kamikaze cyclist while driving. But damn am I more afraid on bike.

I don't know if the drivers don't see me from their phones or if they just don't care even about their cars' paint.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Many drivers don’t even notice a semi truck near them, you think they will notice a bike?

You have to remember, the average driver is a moron.

My issue is if you want to bike in the streetlike a car, then you have to obey car rules. Like stopping at stop lights and stop signs. If you want to ride on the sidewalk then you have to obey pedestrian rules, like crossing at the correct times. Thr number of cyclists I've seen blow through stop signs and stop lights is staggering.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (9 children)

You say that, but drivers would lose their minds bicyclists followed the same rules. Example: Taking the whole lane.

Man, it's almost as if we need a third thing. A sort of, road for bicycles (or long, skinny concentration camp, if you prefer) which is suited to bicycling without getting in the way. Get those bloody cyclists off our roads and footpaths, those are for us!
