I’ve lived in both places…and have had my share of whiny “Luke Skywalker” type bitches…there is no excuse for drivers to not observe the rules (that are put in place by the DMV) not to be observed. Sounds like Elvira hasn’t read the book before she took her test.

This is not a FAIL. I’ve biked on this road before. I – 5 heading south to San Diego. There is a bike path up to Dana point, then the path ends at camp Pendelton Marine base – the only way to continue biking is to get on the freeway and there are 3 miles of trucks roaring by before you get to the oceanside exit. For those biking this sign is much appreciated.

Not all bike riders are assholes. I stay on my right, now the state laws regarding traffic and try to go as fast as I can in order not to be an obstacle.

LMAO!!! This sign is literally right down the road from where I live in Southern California. We have bike lanes pretty much EVERYWHERE as we have a huge cycling population. But invariably they will bike in the main car lane anyway, as if they were a CAR. Which they are NOT.

i can’t believe people have this much to say about biking rules (especially on THIS site). here’s my two cents or so: ride your bike wherever the f*ck you want, but just know that all of the responsibility/blame is on your shoulders regardless. whether you want to ride in a bike lane or on the sidewalk or between traffic lanes in the city or down the middle of the goddamn highway, go for it… just be sure to yield to pedestrians rather than scaring the sh*t out of them or knocking them over, AND yield to drivers rather than have them scare the sh*t out of YOU or knock YOU over. seems like a simple hierarchy to me.
.
personally, i’ll be much relieved when i get my driver’s license back and can tell my own bike to f*ck right off chap.
.
and oh yeah, i like this photo. =)

“I took a taxi from the airport and we nearly ran over at least ten people”
all that proves is you had a horrible taxi driver- of which boston has more than its fair share- or are you the “blame the victim” type?

Not Fake – this is in Dana Point, CA. Just over the hill, the bike lane is closed.

California. But it was worse in Massachusetts. I took a taxi from the airport and we nearly ran over at least ten people. Fortunately, since I wasn’t driving, I didn’t spend too much energy worrying about this fact.

i quite agree it’s funny, i have been hit by more cars than i can remember- and destroyed quite a few bikes- either i am insanely lucky, or subconsciously i know how to take a hit, i’m not sure which, because I never sustained injury worse than some road rash- the sidewalk story happened when i was 12 i think…
when i was 15 i hit a car head on, i was going about 20mph. that one was my own fault, i was riding the wrong way on a one-way street, the car had the light- but the bike took most of the impact, i was thrown clear across the intersection, landed on my back and did a combat roll to my feet, grabbed my bike and cleared the intersection before i even knew what had happened- then some guy handed me my wallet. crowded street at rush hour too, it’s funny to hear that collective gasp- i wish someone had had a camera, it must have looked pretty spectacular, you can bet if i had a video i would show it off with pride…
i got hurt worse hitting a pedestrian, i think i was 19 then- bastard ran across the street w/o looking, i didn’t even get a chance to squeeze my brakes, hit him face to face at 20 mph- only satisfaction i got from that was i broke his nose. the inside of my lip was all cut up, and i damn near had a concussion, i was a bit loopy for the next week… it’s funny that of all the bike accidents i had, that was the one that caused me to start wearing a helmet always.

There are different plates for people from the suburbs I didn’t know that. When I go into my city all our plates look the same. Probably just where I am from though.

My question is where do you live elvira, maybe that has a lot to do with the idiots walking out of stores and into cars. I don’t see much of that around here.

BTW how are those melons doing?

It’s called the sideWALK, not the sideBIKE, for a reason. It’s not an “alternative bike lane.” While it may be legal some places, it’s not recommended by people who do bike safety education for a number of reasons.

Pedestrians and people in wheelchairs don’t want to have to dodge bikes on sidewalks, and cyclists may be traveling fast enough that they represent a danger to these folks.

Drivers pulling out of driveways are looking only for things approaching at pedestrian speed and not bike speed and thus won’t see an approaching cyclist in the time between when they look both ways and think it’s clear and when they start to pull out, during which span of time a cyclist can easily come from the blind spot to the driveway.

We’re safer in a bike lane (one that isn’t blocked by a monster sign, that is).

And I’d much rather travel with vehicular traffic that’s all heading the same direction I am, with a lane they’re supposed to stay in, than on a sidewalk with two-way unpredictable traffic, dogs on leashes (if I’m lucky), toddlers climbing out of their strollers or reaching for my bike, someone who stops suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk in front of me because she just remembered she left her purse back at the restaurant….

Lousy cyclists annoy me as much as they do drivers–they give us all a bad reputation. On the testing, given that probably 99% of adult cyclists also hold a driver’s license, cyclists have in fact passed a test on the rules of the road, and have also most likely driven vehicles so they have some sense of the driver’s viewpoint. If I could get every driver onto a bike in traffic at least once, that would represent the equivalent experience on the other side (and wouldn’t THAT be fun to watch?).

If all of us took an occasional refresher course on the rights and responsibilities of both drivers and cyclists, the world would be a safer place all around.
