Bryant Chaudhry: were u live, must suxk!! either that or u stink at street riding.lol im fing with ya. its the life of street riding!! u have to get used to people like that. this past monday a caby got out of his cab at an intersection and tryed pushing n dragging me of the road. I punched him back and took off through the light. you have to be safely aggressive when riding with motorist.ride ur bike like non of them can ever see or notice u, pay attention to them if there going to turn or if there is a light signal and make sure there aware ur there by hitting there car or yelling. and try not to be a nuisance by blocking the road. because the worst thing is a pist off motorist that has a reason to run u over. motorist think the road is just for them, so they will treat like a raccoon digging in there trash. since they are random angry americans in 2 ton machines, u want to try to work with them instead of irritating them.well it is our life... wear a helmet so u can be! alive to sue who ever decides to take there daily stress out on a innocent person enjoying a healthy fun stress relieving way to commute. jealous fsall of that is a little of topic but...Show more
Hong Hunkin: I am on the road cycling a lot and I find most drivers are fine with cyclists. There are a few idiots, same as everywhere else.
Pasty Cobbett: It seems to me it's very much a location-driven thing.I used to live in Minneapolis, and I had absolutely no problem biking to work and school every day. I was biking to a university campus, and sometimes when I got near the campus I'd get guys yelling inappropriate things, but that was really the worst of it. The other thing that's nice about Minneapolis is that on a lot of the busier roads they actually have a specially designated bike lane, and if you stay within that the motorists tend to respect your space.Now I live in Baltimore, and I've started to actually be afraid to bike places. It goes past the point! of mere shouting, I know people who have been brutally hit by! cars who just don't care that there's a bike in their way. Friends of mine actually know people who have been killed on their morning bike-commute. Here, if you do choose to bike, you either very much take your life into your hands or you ride on the sidewalk. I know it's rude and awful to ride on the sidewalk, and until living here I was extremely against it and somewhat offended when I saw others doing it, but at this point I sort of see it as a survival necessity. Depending on your situation, you may want to consider the same thing....Show more
Paul Maymi: There are 2 issues, extremely: the me-first concepts-set of many human beings and a loss of guidance on street utilization. Me-first plagues many drivers, as evidenced by skill of the style of speeders, gentle-runners and non-sign customers. although, it plagues many cyclists too - they sense they don't ought to stick to the regulations of the line. Or, they do stick to the regulations of the line and start ! to sense entitled or 'greater advantageous' than motorists because of the fact their approach of transportation is greater environmentally friendly, and so on. They get a chip on their shoulder and experience in a haughty way. This motives motorists to sense love that's a conflict for the line, not some thing to be share. regrettably, because of the fact vehicles hugely outnumber motorcycles, vehicle drivers regularly sense they take priority. the shortcoming of guidance is a greater project for cyclists than motorists, actually. because of the fact there is not any 'rider's ed' many cyclists only experience without understanding they're meant to stick to an identical regulations as vehicles while using on the line. Many scoff at combating at crimson lighting fixtures, yielding as required by skill of signs and indications, using hand indicators to point turns, using with head and/or tail lighting fixtures at dawn/nightfall/dark. because of this, motorists get annoyed and y! ell at cyclists. i grew to become right into a motorbike commuter for a! mutually as, till my motorbike grew to become into stolen. i actually enjoyed it, yet i grew to become into greater careful to make helpful I rode as responsibly and competently as available. Helmet, lighting fixtures, reflective kit and a records of the standards for cyclists allowed me to be a responsible street person. Honolulu is a destructive place to pass to and fro by skill of motorbike and yet i grew to become into by no skill yelled or honked at interior the little while i grew to become into able to experience my motorbike. till a peace may be made, or greater motorbike lanes included on the line, i'm going to be sticking to the bus....Show more
