eXXon posted:No, plead the 5th. Yeah I could probably stand to cool off a bit but I live downtown and it drives me crazy how many idiots I see doing very real very dangerous things multiple times a day. Also, wait, this isn't the thread for cathartically venting about dumbasses with vehicles? You wouldn't know it since the last two pages have been full of impotent fantasizing about kicking over some gig worker's ride. I like this thread a lot but sometimes there's a funny dissonance; would you extend the same sentiment to a cyclist parked or riding on the sidewalk? I'm not actually gonna hurt somebody or damage their property for such a small slight, but you bet I'm gonna be venomously rude to them.

Second Hand Meat Mouth posted:bro, a literal d&d mod posted three posts above you here motorcycles are hazardous to their owners anyway. they also make more money than car owners and are mostly men in their 40s and 50s, at which age recovery from an accident would probably eat more of their extravagant wealth than they could afford. just drive a car or if you love 2 wheels so much a bike. don't gently caress with these though they're probably trying to deliver something and are actually working class not landlords

Nothing wrong with riding on the footpath if you coast along at 10kmh and are courteous to pedestrians when your other option is being run over

spiritual bypass posted:motorcycles are basically pickup trucks in terms of noise, air pollution, and operator socialization people modify their bikes to be loud and you notice those ones and don't notice the ones that have proper mufflers and silencers and are quiet harleys aren't, but I don't consider them the same thing they're boomermobiles once most cars are doing about 35-40 the noise from the tires becomes louder than the noise from the engine motorcycles have so much less tire and so much less weight on them that their tires don't make much noise, so you'll hear the exhaust note more often because it's not being smothered by an identical tire noise and it makes bikes stick out but the vast majority are quieter than a car. if they were all that loud, all you'd ever be able to hear in any city would be motorcycle exhaust i haven't looked into it a ton but afaik modern bikes are at about parity in co2e emissions with cars and obviously burn far less fuel per distance travelled aswell as needing less resources to manufacture, ship, and using less rubber for tires, less road wear and not to mention: they kill way less other people than cars do and cause comparatively no traffic congestion which i thought was this threads entire thing ??? mystes posted:It's not personal from the perspective of the pedestrian the motorcycle owner is inconveniencing if they have to push the motorcycle out of the way either. If they do that, they're just doing what they have to do to use the sidewalk, nothing personal. what? intentionally destroying someone's expensive personal property is very personal. if that's that person's method of commuting to work, that could cost them their job and their home. if they have kids that could cost their kids their home. is your minor irritation in knocking on a door 15ft away a more important concern than those possibilities? what's your opinion on Ron Paul? again, you cannot just move a parked motorcycle by hand that's a 400 lb piece of machinery with its rear wheel locked, any person who doesn't know what they're doing trying to move it will most likely drop it on its side trying to shimmy it, now there's a motorcycle laying on its side in the sidewalk and its even harder to get past.

Here’s the OP for your consideration.quote:They have a driveway, the suv is theirs, there’s space on the street and in their yard. quote:The house 2 doors down from them has a walker and a motorized wheelchair on the porch. The people don't seem approachable based on various "I"m more badass than you" bumper stickers, and I don't want them to think it was me IF someone else does kick their bike or call them in. quote:If I told him not to park there, I’m sure he’d have an epiphany and realize that he’s inconvenience others and change his ways and become a new person.

Every time a suv or bike is parked blocking the footpath I'm meant to go find the person who owns it and ask them nicely to move it, a normal take Most of our cycleways are shared paths so riding on the footpath is normal here

Maybe some kind of citywide enforcement of ticketing illegally parked vehicles might be a solution, they wouldn't even need to be cops! Radical proposal I'm sure

when i got my motorcycle license they had scooters in the lot for people that planned on getting/owned one because the point of the class was to familiarize yourself with the ergonomics as much as it was to teach you proper operation. nobody took them up on the offer but it was nice that they had the option.
