In regards to current situations, especially in SF....

I fully understand how sensitive of a subject this can be. And depending on your personal viewpoint your stance varies quite heavily. I typically stay very muted on such topics, and I can understand both sides. But recently after visiting San Francisco the other day I think at some point a fair discussion should be had but if I'm being honest, after one day driving in SF I feel very strongly on this matter, so let me just say... [spoiler]Those bicyclist mother-blam- deserve to be hit. Seriously those people want all the benefits but none of the work!!! Take up half the road then you don't even follow the rules of the road. You go full speed through a red light with zero hesitation and then get mad when you almost cause an accident because being on a bike makes you so damn superior! Screw you bicyclists! You all suck! Blowing through red lights and stop signs, oh but you're in car so the insurance automatically says you're in the wrong even though I'm not following the law that requires bicyclists to obey the rules of the road. Dear bicyclists, I don't think... You are good people.[/spoiler]

  • Cyclists? Naw, let's get after the E people first - twice as fast and disregarding every rule out there.

    If I have it on dash cam is it still my fault? [spoiler]This is all why cyclists are worth a higher point value than pedestrians, but less than electric scooters.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Electric bicycles are worth double points.[/spoiler]

  • They'll only do it once after being hit, probably

  • I doubt they’d improve other avenues for cyclists tbh since they can’t even fix the issue of terrible car drivers either. Like half the people with a license shouldn’t even have one :p

    As a pedestrian, I see my fair share of cyclists here in Utah, and it's weird that I've never actually seen this problem. Not sure what it's like elsewhere, but here we have small bike lanes on the sides of the road, and every cyclist I've seen always either sticks to them or stays on the sidewalk, and then they stop at lights and whatnot. Funny story, so I'm a pedestrian by choice. Had a car, hated that car. It got wrecked*, I was happy to have it gone. Anyway, since I'm a pedestrian, I walk to work, and at my old job, this was a 40 minute walk. The big regional manager over my area offered to give me a bike for free, and I kinda, like, accidentally turned it down, because it went right over my head he was offering to give me one. Which is fine, because I don't think I would've used it much anyway, but still, I find it funny. [spoiler]*If you're curious how, I was going the speed limit on a straight road and some guy turned in without warning. We crashed. It was actually a pretty light crash, but the front of my car was already a little banged up, and it was totaled. I could have gotten some money out of the other guy if I wanted to, but I didn't actually push for anything. Frankly as far as I'm concerned he did me a favor because now nobody was trying to force me to drive the dumb thing. I named my car Dawn after Dawn from Pokémon, because I really hate Dawn from Pokémon. It's a running joke how much I hate her for no real reason, but I really, really do.[/spoiler]

    • It's not a mentality exclusive to San Francisco; believe me, I speak from experience dealing with cyclists. Not all cyclists act that way, but many that I've encountered do.

    • I don’t know the specific thing you’re referencing, however… As someone who used to cycle my commute, but gave up cycling after getting hit by a car (driver didn’t look pulling out at a junction), I can tell you there are drivers, cyclists and pedestrians who don’t look out for others. Most people I encountered on my commute were drivers, so most of the problems I dealt with were bad drivers. Some of them just weren’t paying attention and some of them didn’t know the Highway Code (rules of the road here in the UK). The worst were the ones who used their car aggressively, but thankfully that was extremely rare. I find the whole drivers vs cyclists vs pedestrians thing dumb (from any side), but the absolute dumbest part is when people advocate violence and injury.
