Why don't bikes ... ( 11 months ago by mikokat)
Why don't bikes ever stop at stop signs? I Always see them running stop signs. If I were a cop, I would give the bicyclist a ticket.
A cyclist has ... ( 11 months ago by katakanadian)
A cyclist has unimpeded vision (no car frame creating blind spots) and unimpeded hearing (no loud engine or closed windows) and they are travelling slower and they can stop faster. Al cyclists should substantially slow down at stop signs but coming to a full stop des not significantly increase safety they way it does with cars. I drive and cycle and I feel driving is far more dangerous (when one considers both the risk to oneself and others).
Hey berkeleyhome, ... ( 10 months ago by BayBoy7)
Hey berkeleyhome, you said: "I was hit by a car on my bike on College Ave. years ago, and I am here to say, bikes don't belong on that street." Please stop perpetuating your plutocratic misinformation. My bike belongs on any 'surface street' in Oakland or Berkeley, PERIOD. College Ave is perfect for bikes! It's a two-lane, two-way street, with plenty of core, ground-floor neighborhood, retail, a BART station on the Oakland end.

BayBoy...you are nothing less than a dickhead, worthy only of becoming a statistic..what are you..19?....when you grow up and learn about the world, come back and say something intelligent.
Hey berkeleyhome, ... ( 10 months ago by BayBoy7)
Hey berkeleyhome, I'm sorry to hear of your crash. I should hope you would then support better traffic engineering on College Avenue, i.e. lighted crosswalks, speed humps, pedestrian crossing signals and traffic lights, bike 'sharrows' (shared lane markings), so that others might not suffer the same slings and arrows. For you to say that 'bikes don't belong on that street' is an unintelligent resignation to, or championing of, car traffic on College Avenue as the dominant transit mode.

Yes, but drivers still drive their cars and trucks on them. Occasionally a driver will honk her or his horn (a long honk) at me on one of these bike boulevards. Drivers and their horns...the communication of the inbred.

Just to let you guys know, that bikes legally HAVE TO stop at a stop sign. I saw a cop gave a bicyclist a ticket. I suggest you stop to avoid a ticket. I'm pretty sure nobody likes paying $200+ for a traffic ticket.

Most of the time true, but there are a growing number of cities allowing cyclists to treat a stop as a yield when no other vehicles are stopped at the intersection.

Nice... I recently moved to Berkeley. I lived in Philadelphia for a while and had some difficult times riding... I was hit by a car once when I was in a lane (the car made an illegal left turn). I feel very safe riding in Berkeley.

In many countries, ... ( 3 months ago by darkangelxd777)
In many countries, kids learn to signal, stop at stop lights, and common bicycling etiquette by watching other bicyclists do it.
Now in America, bicycling has been replaced by cars. Kids grow up, not learning how to signal, stop at stop signs/lights, and common etiquette when bicycling.
I know, yielding at stop signs is easier than stopping.
Except, it just promotes a bad image that bicyclists do not follow the rules. It is just 5 seconds to stop, you can trackstand if you want to.
