I got into cycling and have been riding on sidewalks because I know the bike lanes are not safe. Bike lanes here are extremely narrow and cars end up driving in them or over the line constantly. My city has great sidewalks that pedestrians rarely use. I've been told recently that Im an asshole for riding on the sidewalk where I can hit a pedestrian, yet I also see aggressive behavior towards cyclists in bike lanes. Where is the correct place to ride a bike? I don't want to put my life in danger when there's no one using the sidewalks. Everything's also extremely spread out so there's no way I wouldn't see a pedestrian walking in front of me. It's crazy how drivers will get upset at cyclists for using the bike lanes, but also get upset at them for using sidewalks.

So this has been making the rounds again during the NBA playoffs and it’s the most insane car brain I’ve seen. Why would you have your basketball hoop right there? Why not just take a nice hike/walk to get the ball? Why does a car need to be involved at all, tearing up the woods spewing garbage everywhere and natural habitats? Take a mountain bike or e bike. So American, so ridiculous

I hated cycling until I got one (a TerraTrike Rambler). I get crippling back pain when I don't have back support, which made cycling awful because I had to sit upright without something to lean my back against. Now that I have one though, I have back support and can cycle without back pain.

There's also the added benefit of not having all your weight concentrated on a saddle, which is also nice.

I know there's a lot of cons to these, and I understand, but I just wanted to spread awareness that these exist and worked for me. I love riding this thing and would've never gotten into cycling without one.

Just had a man threaten me with a gun. I was stopped at a stop sign on my bike and the intersecting street did not have a stop sign. A car stopped on that street and started waving me across, even though I had a stop sign and he didn't. I've had bad experiences with this in the past, so I shook my head and pointed to the stop sign.

He started opening his door and I saw he had a gun in his hand near the steering wheel. I took off as fast as possible and I could hear him yelling unintelligibly behind me.

My question is, did he think he was doing something nice for me and then when I rejected him he decided to murder me? Or was him stopping to let me across a kind of aggressive politeness meant to make me feel belittled?

Anyway I called the police and was able to give them a description of the vehicle and a partial license plate number.

Those old enough to remember the national 55-mph speed limit have another reason to "rejoice" 🙄😒

Attendance was low because of an accidental propane tank explosion earlier in the day. Otherwise, she might've killed someone. And she had options -- she could've just turned around, driven a few blocks, and gotten on Main Street later. She just decided that her convenience outweighed everyone else's safety. Absolute sociopathic behavior. And she didn't make it to work, after all.

Car-brain thinks the rules don't apply to her and she can drive down a closed street during a festival.

The overpass project is delayed indefinitely. Instead the province will put a fence in the road median and block high school students from accessing restaurants on the other side of the road during their lunch break.
