What kind of wimpy pedestrian are you that you're incapable of bullying bikes out of your way? I have to walk around town arguing with BMW drivers and lifted truck assholes. Bicyclists are barely a consideration.

nowhere does the line between pedestrian and car blur. this can happen with bikes     nor has anyone in my city been hospitalized by a pedestrian running into another one in the last few weeks, whereas a cyclist has hit a pedestrian and caused this. just be careful around pedestrians

Personally I'd rather not be injured by anyone in any conveyance, be it car, bicycle, or howdah. I'd rather just be able to walk around in the fresh air without danger

Bikes make it possible to live without a car in places that aren't walkable. Bikes are also great in places that are walkable and have decent bike paths (separate from pedestrians or shared paths wide enough for bikes to pass pedestrians safely). Bikes are maybe not so great in places that are walkable but do not have good bike paths, because bikes should not be on a narrow or crowded sidewalk with pedestrians.

El Pollo Blanco posted:Now do how many pedestrians have been hospitalized by cars in your city of course it's a lot higher. the point is bicycles share some qualities of cars -- sometimes to the point of being indistinguishable from them -- and bicyclists share some qualities of drivers in many places. in general both these are the result of despised automotive culture and pedestrians suffer from this.

I really don't know why you have difficulty grasping this simple fact?

Cyclists are usually better people than car owners but they don't always behave their best and it's not car love or car brain just to say that

Any pedestrian who has consciously participated in the anti-car development for the last decades or has closely observed that development will at once say, after reading these arguments, “What old and familiar rubbish! What ‘Ultra-walker’ childishness!” But let us examine these arguments a little more closely. The mere presentation of the question—“anti-bike or anti-car?”—testifies to most incredibly and hopelessly muddled thinking. Teriyaki Hairpiece’s attempts to give the question more “profundity” and to proclaim that bikes are unnecessary and “bad” are so supremely absurd that one can only shrug one’s shoulders. It all goes to drive home the truth that a minor error can always assume monstrous proportions if it is persisted in, if profound justifications are sought for it, and if it is carried to its logical conclusion. These people want to invent something quite out of the ordinary, and, in their effort to be clever, make themselves ridiculous. Repudiation of the anti-car principle and of anti-car discipline—that is what the opposition has arrived at. And this is tantamount to completely disarming the anti-car movement in the interests of the car industry. It all adds up to that car-brained diffuseness and instability, that incapacity for sustained effort, unity and organised action, which, if encouraged, must inevitably destroy any anti-car revolutionary movement. From the standpoint of the anti-car movement, repudiation of the anti-car principle means attempting to leap from the eve of the car society’s collapse (in America), not to the lower or the intermediate phase of non-car society, but to the higher. We outside America (still in the first century since the introduction of bike lanes and trains) are making the first steps in the transition from a car-brained society to a non-car-brained society or the lower stage of personal transport. Bikes still remain, and will remain everywhere for years after the non-car movement’s conquest of power.

The main thing I keep saying is that cyclists, at least here in America, want to have their cake and eat it too. They want very much to be respected as operators of vehicles, they want other vehicles to respect their rights of way, signal properly, stay out of their lanes, and yield to them at the proper times. However, they don't want their vehicles licensed or inspected, they don't want to be licensed themselves, they don't want to have to follow basic safety procedures like helmet wearing, and they want to go the wrong way down one ways, make turns without signaling, sail through crosswalks, not stop at stop signs or red lights, and bike on the sidewalk. Either you're a vehicle or you're not. Either you're a pedestrian or you're not. You don't get to pick and choose.

A properly designed city has pedestrian spaces and grade separated bike paths where never the two have to meet
