RE: bikes and poo poo.

I own a bike but I'm a lazy pile of poo poo so I don't ride it.
But if I did and was riding in a bus city, I'd probably start screaming out lyrics to Wesley Willis songs.

I bet people would get out the way pretty fuckin quick if I was screaming out "LICK A BLACK BACKED JACKAL'S FUNKY rear end YOU DOBERMAN COCKSUCKER"!!!!

Why would one "ride" a bike when already in a city bus? What the gently caress does that mean?

Anyway, I have ridden bicycles, motorcycles, and ridden trains, buses, and driven my own auto to work. Currently, I walk. And I think the slapping-phones goon is just making cyclists look bad. And the most dangerous mode of transport is, by far, the motorcycle. Bicycles are only dangerous by other people's action. Motorcycles are deadly in themselves.

The real solution to the bikes and poo poo problems, is to separate the different traffic flows. The whole point of cycle paths is to make sure a 2 ton car doesn't kill cyclists, and to make sure cyclists don't bowl over pedestrians.
Of course, that doesn't help when people just walk onto the cycle path without looking. For some reasons, tourists in Amsterdam find it hard to understand that a cycle path has the same status as a car road, and just step onto it without looking.

Sooner or later you're gonna get hit. Also, they don't understand bells. You need loud squealing brakes, the sound of a rear tire slipping or a raised voice to make them move back onto the sidewalk.

Now, trams in cities, that's another OSHA story... Per passenger per kilometer, they cause about five times as many lethal accidents as the city buses. Somehow, those rumbling, squealing things that run on extremely predictable routes, are still more dangerous than the much quieter buses.
I used to study at one of Amsterdam's universities. There's a busy intersection in front of the main building, with 4 car lanes from each side, and two tram tracks down the centre. During my time, multiple people died because they got hit by the tram. None by cars or by buses afaik.

Bicycles are great. Berkeley bicyclists, even in a city that has tons of 'Bike Only' lanes and pass-throughs, are poo poo.

edit: Everyone on board seems to be OK with whats going on, but the bilge pump is spraying hard. Assuming the boat doesn't run out of ocean, they're probably OK.


double edit - heard the sound so I'm guessing its in Hawaii somewhere. There's a brief second at the very start where you can see water breaking on sand in the lower right, but it looks like the captain shot the channel

I tried to be a smart pedestrian earlier today. I ended up having to walk home from the post office during twilight. There are no sidewalks in my neighborhood and I was wearing a black sweatshirt, so I turned on the flashlight on my phone and stuck it in my back pocket so cars could see me.

The article doesn't go into any detail aside from saying he was unloading the truck.

Being home depot, I was thinking it would be someone on an order picker dropping a water heater off the top shelf onto someone ignoring the barricades.

Could be that the driver of the truck he was unloading pulled out of the loading dock.

Somebody is thrown overboard and seen in the water. Judging by their clothes, it seems most of the passengers are tourists. They also seem totally oblivious and are just on their phones filming.

I've got a normal bell on my bike and a much louder electric horn that I got for cars (that just won't hear a bell over their engine through closed windows). It's almost loud enough to be painful, comparable to a car horn (but not quite).

I've still had pedestrians not hear the bell and not the horn while they did stood in a clearly marked cycle lane. I'd love to see some research in it, do I need to install a truck horn or what.

In a desperate attempt to segue away from bike chat, vehicle horns and alerts are actually interesting osha stuff. I'm finally noticing construction sites with vehicles with white noise buzzers for reversing. My understanding is that's been mandatory in the UK for ages but it's apparently only just coming now to Australia, and I'm not even sure it's mandatory. It definitely does help determine direction though, pretty cool
