I’m walking to work right now. it’s about a mile and a half but it’s a beautiful day. I will jaywalk with impunity and maybe even try some anti-car slurs out along the way. got any good ones??

i slipped on a flooded low water crossing once and that's the only time i've hurt myself or others in about fifteen thousand miles of biking. people on mixed-use paths get extremely freaked out if they're in the middle or wrong side of the walk and i have to pass awkwardly. i have a loud-rear end bell but it's not gonna overcome earbuds plus instagram is it annoying to mount a bluetooth to a bike? i used to blast music while exercising so i wouldn't have to wear earbuds and people actually paid attention to me

my favorite intersections on bike are the ones with pressure plates that won't ever trigger if you're the only person there. they're perfect during off hours, you can either get off your bike and go hit the beg button on the sidewalk, run the red light, or sit there forever. anyway, the only mode of transportation that exists when designing traffic systems is cars.

Polo-Rican posted:another brain problem among drivers is being completely unable to differentiate "unsafe" and "annoying." you may find a bike on the sidewalk annoying, but you can look up the numbers - the number of pedestrians actually injured by bikes is so low it's practically nonexistent. most bikes (especially on sidewalks) are going like 4mph and weigh 15 pounds. if you go to a country like the netherlands or japan, bikes and pedestrians share sidewalks constantly and nobody blinks an eye Does the bike drive itself around? Does the bike actually weigh 14lbs 15oz, and the rider is a 1oz bird?? Anyway my wife was hit by a bike going the wrong way down a one-way street in brooklyn because bikers are entitled shits that are complete oblivious exactly like car people. Hell cars are actually safer since if you are on the sidewalk you will never see a car coming toward you and expecting you to move.

we should replace all intersections with roundabouts btw, just because people can't fly through them at 90 mph we have a few around here and it's much less stressful of course the roundabout will have a machine gun on it to blow up any cars that come near it car problem solved

All the bike complainers are big time projecting. The fringe case bicycle pedestrian collisions happen because both cyclists and pedestrians are forced into sharing a smaller space

yes, if you’re on the sidewalk you’ll never see the car coming toward you because you’ll already be dead

SKULL.GIF posted:"passing on your left!" *bikes glides smoothly past a pedestrian* Yeah this is where a ton of anti bike bullshit comes from. I’ve seen this dumb nonsense so many times I bought a Japanese bike bell with a beautiful, calming sound so I could melodiously warn pedestrians on multiuse paths from dozens of yards away. They still jump and glare daggers like riding by them at like ten miles an hour makes bicyclists an existential threat

*Put on noise canceling headphones* *Blast OK, Computer* *Jump on my fixie and immediately blow through a stop-sign, cutting the curb through the group of pedestrians and strollers waiting to cross at the light.* Ring bike bell like 50times, geez they should be paying attention to me. *Salmon up the street totally oblivious to everything not in my immediate eyesight.* Apparently some dumb ape is screaming at me. Cars flashing their lights at me. "heh, stupid cars, they should be watching where I'm going." Take another abrupt unsignaled turn onto another one-way street coming from literally the only direction that no-one should expect anything to come from. Slam into a mother and her children. "This fringe case bicycle-pedestrian collision happened because both cyclists and pedestrians are forced into sharing a smaller space." Anyway, trains are the truth and the light.

Anyway super cool that as usual anything against cars is derailed into a discussion of how once while walking to their cars boomer brained motorists didn’t get the deference they believe they deserve and therefore bicyclists are monsters. Super cool. Good job. Crush all cars embrace multimodal thought (to include bikes!)

Loucks posted:Yeah this is where a ton of anti bike bullshit comes from. Pedestrians are easily frightened because they have been conditioned to be scared of 2000 pound metal machines turning them into paste. I've had people get spooked just running by them because I'm quiet. Now I jingle my keys when I'm passing people like I'm a cat with a bell on my collar so the scared pedestrians know I'm coming.
