Even if this is true, and a big heavy guy on a racing bike was riding on the side walk and collided with your child, that sounds like an awful and dangerous situation but it doesn’t really change things?
Cars have accidents all the time, bikes have accidents too, sometimes bikes and cars have accidents, some times cars and people have accidents, and sometimes bikes and people have accidents.
In a given incident one or more participants may have been reckless or acted unlawfully, but that doesn’t mean that their mode of transport is inherently dangerous.
I never said riding bicycles is inherently dangerous to pedestrians. I just say they are, if they switch to the pavement in full speed.
I think you are unnecessarily offensive and I really dont get, why I have to defend common sense by stating that I am not fine with people taking traffic rules into theyre own hands and endangering others.
Guess i missed the part stating that this comment section is reckless drivers circle jerk…
Look im sorry you had that experience, but im not really sure how its relevant here?
Was that guy avoiding an intersection by riding on the foot path? Seems unlikely for a racing bike.
Plenty of people screaming around on bikes unsafely - no doubt about that.
Yes he was doing just that. Switching paths to avoid a red light.
I pretty much just don’t believe you.
