Going to touch the poop on the 'hypothetical cyclists' derail(leur) for a second to point out that there's a wide gradient of potential dangers posed by someone being an rear end in a top hat with a vehicle, and bicycles tend to be near the bottom of that gradient. Not to say that the cyclist in question isn't a dick, or that cyclists haven't killed or maimed people before, but compared to... Oh, let's say a semi truck carrying livestock charging at a line of pedestrians, you can see that there's a bit of a difference. Actually I guess what I wanted to point out is that there are some (just one really) posters ITT who have got that twisted.

Vlaphor posted:Good thing he waited for that car. Wouldn't want to get hit while crossing the street. Don't get me wrong this guy is an rear end in a top hat for not stopping but 1.) You have to admire that shoulder check 2.) As a person who commutes by bike every day in a major metropolitan city I understand his frustration with inattentive pedestrians. I've never hit or body checked one but I'd be lying if I said I've never slapped the phone out of the hand of a jaywalker walking into traffic staring at their phone. In this instance the pedestrian definitely had the right of way but I just can't understand people that go through crosswalks like this. Can we take the cycling full circle and argue about fixies?

Uthor posted:"poo poo, this car is about to hit me." *stops* "Oh, the car is letting me go, guess I'll cross." *smash* The trick is you don't trust other road users, like the driver that barely bothered to stop to let pedestrians through a crosswalk, to tell you what to do and when to go, they don't know poo poo and aren't paying attention.

interwhat posted:You hipster gently caress is that a Leader frame? I have no idea who made the frame. It was from some now defunct company sold under the model name NYC Messenger. A builder bought up the frames and sold complete bikes with leftover components for $250. I've replaced most of the running gear but the frame is solid and has survived two cars in the last year hitting me in in the bike lane.

They're the pedestrians you assaulted for not seeing you finally chasing you down.

Like I said before he's an rear end in a top hat for doing it. The pedestrian had the right of way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfUnwynwZvE
