sideWALK not sideride

Most jurisdictions in the US actually make biking on the sidewalk illegal.

You're a fucking retard. Neck yourself.

I'll take this over having some Jamba juice faggot taking up the full lane and only obeying traffic rules when it benefits him

This. As long has they get out of my fuckin way I don't care where they ride.

The sidewalk is supposed to be reserved for pedestrians only. Having bicyclists going as fast as 25 mph in the same relatively narrow space as pedestrians is a recipe for disaster.

lol youd hate illinois, these faggots here can legally ride on the highways, any town road. Although there are bike trails through a lot of the state.

road niggers

All you faggots talking shit, try riding a bicycle and you will see.

Because then people on the sidewalk will complain. Honestly they should just have to follow the same traffic rules as cars.

What are you talking about? Bikes and pedestrians commute side by side here and it's never a problem. Do Americans not know how to use their fucking eyes to spot obstacles?

If anything, having a bike lane directly in the road seems even more dangerous, as there's the risk of getting run over.

Burgers are retarded.

Because that's illegal user.

>Do Americans not know how to use their fucking eyes to spot obstacles?

They literally don't. Eyes glued to phones in every neighborhood it wont get stolen plus wide loads coming through.

I would hate to have to use that particular bike lane with that parking lane right next to it. Retards will be more likely to cross over and fuck you up because they see a spot and try to take it immediately. Or some faggot will open his car door without looking.

Because sidewalks are used for walking, you fucking retard.

No, we have similar things here. But in major thoroughfares there are bike lanes on roads for cars. They are small and off to the right-hand side. But user here probably clips a bicyclist because he was too busy eating a cheeseburger and thinking of Mama June to focus on the road and see the guy pleasantly biking in the lane to his right.
I bike all the time, and it's not a big deal. As long as you play it safe, and don't disrupt traffic or be an asshole, you're fine

Bicycles save time money and lives. it's time for people to stop bitching about them!

do amerilards even ride bikes?

In america a lot of sidewalks are in even worse condition than the few neglected bike lanes we have. When I was in college with tons of massive pedestrian walkways and bikelanes it was still hell to bike through because everyone is so oblivious to their surroundings.

The best part were the constant jay walkers who if they saw you half of them would start walking at an angle away from you just making a collision even more likely.

And give people exercise. Us Amerilards need it

Yes, you cunt

Stop it shareblue

I agree OP. Fuck these bike lanes.

why don't you ride a bike instead, like white people of europe have for hundreds of years instead your gas fulled jewmobile that is the reason you're overweight and have diabetes?

>speed talking through a list of poorly argued bullet points with a bunch of poorly edited graphics and sound effects
There is so much strawmanning of both bikers and drivers in this video and I'm only 2 minutes in it's disgusting. There are a ton of retarded bikers who create more problems than they solve.

>having a bike lane directly in the road seems even more dangerous
they're expendable, numb nuts

Kek it's a 3 minute video and I couldn't even watch it long enoug to notice.

You say that until the city cuts a lane off your arterial to make way for lance armstrong wannabees

>durr
what problems exactly do bikers cause you nigger

They don't want to because somehow biking is considered gay amongst Is Burger population. Or all the people who bike wear tights.
I bike all the time for exercise and getting around, it's great

Best country in the world, folks.

I remembered when I visited Miami, FL a few years ago to fish. Jesus, what a city. Anyhow, probably the biggest culture shock was that the sidewalks were completely deserted. I mean, there was not a soul in sight. Ironically I saw the most people walking around while driving through the 'no-go' ghetto zones you guys have where you aren't supposed to get out of your car.

Also, bikers in packs near downtown would often take up entire lanes of traffic, even during the rush. What the fuck is that shit?

>taking up a full lane in a busy road when lanes are wide enough for them to keep to the shoulder and cars easily pass them
>driving on the busiest roads in rush hour when there are empty parallel roads a quarter of a mile in either direction
>those faggots who run stop signs and red lights without stopping without properly checking traffic before doing so
>those faggots at a big intersection who will diagonally cut through it from one corner to another when both directions are left turning

I commuted to campus from my apartment 3 miles away for 3 years every day. I saw plenty of dumb shit both on and off campus.

I hate bike lanes, bike (((culture))), and bikers generally.

Does the sudden appearance of this whole fake ass 45 year olds going to vitamin cottage to buy kambucha while wearing thier *biking helmets* with that faggy little detist's rear-view mirror attached, pretending their fat-ass is on the tour du france with all their faggy cuck office brahs not annoy anyone else

I run stop signs all the time when biking. But I constantly check to see if anyone is coming. If they are, I stop.
Ultimately, we need bicycle education, just like we have drivers education and hunter safety

You're talking about shit that's not what bikes are supposed to do, and also talking about restricting resources for bikes to properly ride. I'm glad Sup Forums doesn't run any actual governments, you people are retarded at solving problems. And this isn't even about race or religion, which you're even dumber at.

It does, but I bicycle for exercise and I don't wear that faggy outfit. i see so many of them with bikes that cost over 1000 USD and they have barely been used.

I'd much rather ride on the sidewalk because I live in LA and hardly anyone walks and everyone has a car so the roads are constantly engorged with traffic and the sidewalks are clear.

But it's against the fucking law. I'm pretty sure that greater LA is one of the most deadly places to ride a bike in America statistically. But I'll get a 70$ fine if I'm "caught" on the side walk. And the law changes slightly depending on what municipality you're in. It's bullshit.

Cut the lane on the right, make it a "bus lane" available for cyclists, motorbikes, electric cars and city vehicles.
Thats what they do here...

>taking up a full lane in a busy road when lanes are wide enough for them to keep to the shoulder and cars easily pass them
addressed in the video. invalid
>driving on the busiest roads in rush hour when there are empty parallel roads a quarter of a mile in either direction
irrelevant, cars dont do this either.
>those faggots who run stop signs and red lights without stopping without properly checking traffic before doing so
Cars do this too
>those faggots at a big intersection who will diagonally cut through it from one corner to another when both directions are left turning
not our fault the crosswalks have pedestrians walk during turning cycles in most places

so bascially you have one complaint and its not even about bikers being on the same road as you. shut the fuck up you have nothing to say

When you bike to get to your job to support your family, you go through all sorts of weather conditions. So you need to have some equipment; a dry bag, rain gear where I'm at (pacific northwest), which means special pants and a jacket, and you need to be prepared to avoid fatal hazards all the time. That shit people wear that looks silly can be compressed down small and you can have it in a small bag for later. It makes sense but you think that your fat ass is so important that you deserve to burn fossil fuels every time you run out of hot pockets and don't wanna walk.

That's the worst part. Like 5 people bike. I live in Asia where millions of people bike and guess where they ride? On the sidewalk like we've done for decades. That way the roadway can be used for cars and trucks that actually deliver goods and foods to urban areas. That way you don't need get in a car and drive far away to buy things.

I went to CU, Boulder CO and almost killed probably 4-5 bikers while there....millions of cross-walks, millions of bike lanes and millions of cops. USA is a police state and nothing aggrivates that situation more than when cities try to transform into jew-centric 'walkable' cities that ruin the ability to commute and only help yuppie brahs walk past the nigger bums they pretend not to hate to the starkikes to get 30 dollar shit coffiee.

Few people will commute by foot. The most foot traffic sidewalks get is on Friday/Saturday night in the downtown by people bar and restaurant hopping and too drunk to drive between them. The people walking around in those no-go areas were likely just niggers patrolling their streets and didn't actually have anywhere to go. Also Miami is a shithole.

So did I, that's pretty much expected from bikers with how much effort you have to put into accelerating compared to cruising that some areas even made the rolling stop for them into law. But I had the intelligence and discretion to differentiate between a 4 way stop sign on the intersection of two dead residential roads and the stoplight between a side road and high traffic road.

What are you going to do about the things I listed faggot? That's exactly what the typical cyclist does in America. That was in a college city with a higher bike population than normal and a larger police department. People who constantly pulled all kinds of stupid shit were rarely if ever reprimanded. More infrastructure isn't going to fix retards with a death wish who get a boner holding up traffic in lycra.

your country actually maintains your side walks

Don't waste your energy, this person doesn't get any cardio and should turn Sup Forums the fuck off and go outside for 45 minutes a day.

>Ironically I saw the most people walking around while driving through the 'no-go' ghetto zones you guys have where you aren't supposed to get out of your car.
Because the people walking the sidewalks are the ones you're trying to avoid. They all have DUIs and felonies and AIDs and weapons and drugs and bad attitudes on them.

hippy faggot

Wow it's like bicyclists need to pay attention to where they're going or something

In Texas we rode bicycles on the sidewalk and guess what? All you have to do is slightly move out of pedestrians way. Wow so complicated!

Meanwhile, when i moved to California i couldnt believe how FUCKED these douchbags riding their bikes in the road is. Always in the fucking way, slowing up traffic, thinking they are better than traffic lights and stop signs, when the sidewalk is perfectly clear next to them. Such bullshit its insane. Who approves of this??? I fucking hate bicyclists with a passion. GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY POORFAG

I'm there now. But I really don't get why you're so mad. I commuted from Jeffco for an entire semester, and I never had a problem with bicyclists. I stick to the bike trials usually, but occasionally I will use the bike lanes on the main roads (Colorado Blvd). I only had one incident in my car, but I wasn't paying attention.
I think biking is great because it cuts down on the traffic, gets me so exercise, and is rather fun

Good fucking god. Take this to literally any other board. What the fuck are you doing here.

I never got it either. I was always told as a kid never ride your bike on the road because you're asking to get run over if you do. Taking your bike off the sidewalk is really stupid, but a lot of cities will actually ticket you if you arent on the road.

Classic example of government not actually caring about your safety, just pretending it does.

>durr
you're a moron, a lot of the time places have walls and plants obscuring a corner. traffic signals are there to stop a car from checking me (sometimes) in a lane, but I have no way of knowing if I'm going to run into another pedestrian rounding a corner in a bike

Do you want to know why cars don't use the lower traffic parallel roads? Because they are typically filled with more stop signs instead of lights due to them being closer to residential areas and lower speed limits, two things that don't particularly affect cyclists.

I got into several close calls in my time commuting, usually in an area where cars loved to turn right into a mcdonalds without looking because they can't wait an extra two seconds for their big mac, but ironically the only time I actually got close to dying was when a car ran a red light at an intersection I patiently waited at.

You still haven't told me what you think "bikes are supposed to do" and how you would solve the hell of American roads.

>Triggered by bike lane.
OP must be too fat and lazy to ride a bike. Bike lanes means less cars on the road and bikes don't have to ride in traffic so they don't slow you down. Riding a bike on the sidewalk is illegal. How can you be this fucking stupid?

the (((biker lobby))) is the one ensuring that bikes continue to ruin roads by pushing this lie that bikers can't bike on sidewalks, and try to make city ordinances that this is the case. It's complete bullshit, and anyone who was born prior to 1990 would know that this is another jewish trick to concentrate people into the cities (because they can't commute) and to force white people to get BLACKED through nigger concentration camps that are down-towns and the rapes and murders that innevitably occur there.

Consider yourself lucky. I live out in the country where there are windy roads and the speed limit is 60 mph. The fucking retard cyclists drive out here from the city to put around on the back roads on the weekend.

They ride 3 abreast going

In my country it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk if there is no marked bike path. You must ride on the side of the road. Which is how it should be. But American way of ttansportation is different.

>Do you want to know why cars don't use the lower traffic parallel roads? Because they are typically filled with more stop signs instead of lights due to them being closer to residential areas and lower speed limits, two things that don't particularly affect cyclists.
and do you know why we use your roads? because we don't provide a big enough inconvinience to warrent US going out of our way to a quarter fucking mile just to make sure you have another lane to yourself. shut the fuck up and suck it up.

Unless there is a MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT sign on that road, they have every right to be there.
Sorry, them's the rules.

kek american roads

youtu.be/F6jFnOnjzrk

Philly here

Our sidewalks are all destroyed or crowded or have gigantic trees growing out of them so that I have no choice but to ride in the street anyways

And even then, dickheads like OP act like I'm an asshole for being in the bike lane and don't care if they accidentally kill me. Travelling by bike is truly suffering

if only there was this device invented by a genius that made a noise when you ring it

OH FUCK what's it called?

>that's what they do here

Hungary is jew capital of Europe.

we had to put stop lights on every damn block because two retards got killed trying to cross the road against traffic going 45+ MPH instead of just walking an extra block or so where there are protected crosswalks

there was an uptick in the biker fad when Lance Armstrong was pretending to win all those races, but now that that shit's over I've noticed a lot less of those packs of fattass cuck faggots pretending to be like him around. Hopefully this will pass and I can get back to jerking off to japanese office lady porn.

>adressed in the video
fuck your video faggot. You douchebags are always mindlessly drifting into the lane instead of hugging the curb where you plebians belong.
>irrelevant, cars dont do this either.
Oh really Mr city planner, no one who drives prefers to take shortcuts when they know of them? You cyclefags need to GTFO the main roads during traffic as you only make shit worse.
>Cars do this too
Oh really? As a standard operating procedure like you peddle peasants?
>not our fault
Oh I see, you dindu nuffin! You couldnt possibly have abided by the same rules as the cars on the same road you're privileged to ride on. Nah just cut fucking diagonally across an intersection. Red lights and people driving 2000lbs metal bricks dont mean shiet

>le I blow through stop signs because I'm a cyclist
Only one of the group died instantly, they rest died in agony. They unironically deserved it. We also have something in our state called "impeding traffic".

That analogy breaks down when you realize that most kids only bike in residential areas and don't properly understand traffic laws to know what they are doing. For which one is better it really depends on the area but that analogy on its own is worthless. If you can bike in the road without impeding traffic then it's much easier to reach and maintain higher speeds.

Are you fucking retarded? Everyhting isn't a conspiracy you autistic fuck

I remember reading in the Economist once that juries are much less likely to convict a driver who killed a biker of vehicular manslaughter because everyone on the jury are motorists themselves and hate cyclists.

It's a wicked cycle.

Nigger I'm a cyclist too. I used the parallel roads because of their incredible convenience and a lot of other cyclists did too. I also drove on the major roads and still go angry about the faggots who chose to bike on them.

the corner should be treated like a stop sign. Problem solved.

This right here is the God's truth. I've lived in Texas, and gone to Colorado and Cali and can attest to its veracity.

If there is an actual bike lane its never a problem, granted the byclists decide to give a fuck about respecting traffic rules for that day. Its when bicycles have to share a lane but arrogantly ride in the fucking way instead of staying within a foot of the curb when you deserve to be run over

>durrr
you obviously didn't watch the video, watch the fucking video
>oh really they don't like to take shortcuts?
then why aren't you on that road if its so much faster?
>muh speeds
shut up nigger, theres no cars, and theres traffic, you'll be going faster over there so go over there and enjoy your stop signs, meanwhile, in the real world, I would never not go on my bike and just fucking starve to death for your convinience, so I'll be in a car making your traffic worse, not better. welcome to not being a retard, feel free to kiss my ass any time for sparing you the traffic. now go watch the video instead of throwing a shit filled tantrum that shows you obviously haven't

Depends on where you live too, demographics in certain rural areas make people drive like crazed ass holes because they drink and watch nascar all day.

On the other hand in some cases it's simply to far to ride a bike safely back and forth. I would complain about horse riders but they're fairly rare and the horses are cute so i can't complain. Fuck tractors though.

What annoys me is that these bikers who go into the main roads seem to be doing it to 'protest' cars, or to simply piss everyone off. They are making a political point by being cuck liberal faggots.

yes, I'll treat every corner like stop sign while a car doesnt have to, kill yourself

then you're a faggot, I'm not driving half an extra mile a day just to barely provide a fraction of convinience to shitheads who think they own the road.

Running past stop signs is a major problem for cyclists because of the annoyance of having to accelerate from stop. When I regularly commuted I stuck to the lower traffic roads and slowed down at stop signs for a rolling stop but still ready to break. Of course there were a few stop signs on my route that I knew to never fuck with.

Another pain in the ass I always had with cyclists was those retards who didn't have lights at night or thought that wearing a pair of Beats by Dr Dre TM on a bike was a good idea. Even when I ran late at night on the sidewalk bikes without lights were a pain.

Skateboarders take up virtually the same amount of width as bicyclist, both can travel fairly quickly, yet the one with inherently less controlability is the one allowed on the fucking sidewalk. Its easy as fuck to ride a bike around pedestrians, of course it cant be done on every city block but theres no reason to outlaw bikes on the sidewalks outside of downtown areas. Its much easier than getting into the fucking way of cars on your gay little bike going slow as fuck and being an annoyance for drivers worried youre going to aimlessly coast in front of them, because fuck traffic lights and stop signs.

Bikes doesn't mean those gay mopeds and shitty old honda motorcyles Singaporeans drive you stupid chink, they mean literal bicycles.

>thinking they are better
>not wanting a 100$ fine when you don't even have a car
It's illegal to be on the sidewalk, dipshit. Not my fault California's constituency if full of retards.

We have those bike lanes here in south florida. You'd have to have a fucking deathwish to use them though. Too many drivers that are either old as fuck, drugged out of their mind, or both.

>Update
Yeah--In general I'm against this real agressive (((lobby))) of cuck faggot bikers that try to force 98% of society that has jobs more than 10 miles away from our home to conform to some gay-jew liberal agenda that plans to make cars and white people illegal.

>Why is this even allowed?

Because unlike you, we don't live in the congo where biking to work gets your murdered.

God I hate skateboards. Such a useless piece of wood.

I live in a city infested with you spandex wearing bike fags. What difference is a video going to make on my life driving tomorrow? fucking nothing. I do use other roads when its viable, I never said I didnt faggot.

Because bicycles slow down traffic and cant keep up with cars and confound drivers at stoplights when you arrogantly blast through them I'd say you make the road a worse place to be than even an average prius driver.

>1 post by this ID
Hoo boy, here comes the braindead leaf.

Not once did I mention mopeds or motorcycles in that posts. I meant real bikes, believe it or not: 2 petals and a chain.

Illegal to ride bikes on sidewalks in my state

(((pure coincidence)))

Stay hugging the curb faggot and obey traffic lights. The road belongs to vehicles with engines.

kek ATL?

Meant for But for you I've seen videos of hordes of shitty dirt cheap motor bikes used by chinks. There are a lot of fines and restrictions on driving an actual car in a lot of cities so they get around it with them. They ignore all street lights and traffic laws everywhere and the only thing that makes them stop is the fear of death from some other chink ignoring street laws everywhere but who happens to own a car.

*That post.

Don't want to sound like a stupid chink.

If you think bicycle lanes are bad, here it's legal for 13 year olds to bike on 60 km/h main roads, without a helmet, while drunk

And it's also illegal to bike on the sidewalk, even though they are like 8 meter wide in many cases. So now you have little shitkids with their parents biking in a gooseline, just begging to fall under an 18 wheeler
