And I say a comment section full of people justifying the fact that act wrongfully, illegal and dangerous is not to be rectified by a the fact that others are harmful.
I wouldn't say cars are not dangerous, but - be the statistics as it may - grown ups may use the sidewalk if they walk. Shall they skip the redlight as much as they want. As long if they get off them bikes.
What I see here, though not by you specifically, is at best carbrain attitude transferred in cyclists. People saying "me" first and don't act up to the rights they demand by keeping the obligation in mind. You don't want to get hurt and thats fine. Why don't they think a second to realize that pedestrians dont want to, too?
I feel like have made my point and if there really is no way to agree, than it may be so. I have to stay alert when I' m out with the kids anyway...
Actually just today I saw two incidents making me think, that the ones I despise may have just loaded their bycicles off their BMWs and acted up to what they really are: reckless driviers. No matter whether they are in lycra or in lether seats.
