the people i hate most in the world are cyclists who ride on the sidewalk. you are a vehicle, get off the sidewalk.

they are lazy and cowards or possibly children if they do this

gotta share the road the right way and teach car drivers to respect you at intersections

kid bikers are cool too though and when you are driving you need to respect the fact that they don't know all the rules of the road

pos bikes are awesome, if it's rideable you can probably sell it for some cash on gumtree/craigslist and if it's not you could donate it to a local shop or coop so they can strip it for parts and it will ~live on~

children don't get a pass. if you're not old enough to ride in the street, you're not old enough to ride in public

a 50 lb child on a bicycle is as significant a hazard to pedestrians as a 200 lb adult. em vee squared is a motherfucker.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

if you don't make your kids wear helmets you're basically investing in turning them into the kinds of people who don't wear seatbelts or really respect any kind of safety best practice

like maybe they only ride bikes slowly and in places where nothing bad could ever happen but congrats for the rest of their life they'll just be never wearing a condom

it takes like 200 ms just for you to process the fact that you have fallen/are falling off the bike, let alone react to it

some people are just immune to the concept of "bad things could happen to me and I might not personally be able to deal with them all by myself"
