Bicyclist knocks pedestrian unconscious, flees scene

[Anonymous]

No one supports what this jerk did to the pedestrian and no one reasonable supports biking in a way that risks this. That includes me, someone who bikes almost daily.

I also don't support impractical and punitive ideas from people who irrationally hate me just for riding a bike to get where I'm going.

Like what's impractical? and punitive?

Can pedestrians have the sidewalks to get to where they need to go safely? Can we cross the street without being yelled at by people on bikes?

Weird how I didn't see 15 posts here last year talking about how irresponsible and dangerous car drivers are...

It's almost like certain people on here harbor a very unhealthy hatred of cyclists and enjoy propagating malicious stereotypes about them.

It’s more like a lot of people on here have had a lot of issues with cyclists being generally insufferable.

A lot of people have a lot of issues with YOU being generally insufferable.

Such strong words and even all caps.

Cyclists don't think they should have to follow any rules whatsoever. And if anything ever goes wrong, it's always someone else's fault. They are like spoiled children.

Talk about spoiled children. You’re big mad that somebody chooses a different method of transportation than you do.

I wish that bicyclists would decide if they want to be treated like a car or a pedestrian. It can't be both because its super hard to anticipate what a cyclist will do. Will they stop at a stop sign? Are they crossing at a crosswalk or following the traffic lights?

Nah, I'm mad that you don't stop at crosswalks or lights or stop signs and that you are constantly telling me to get out of your way when I'm on the sidewalk. I coudn't care less how you get from point A to point B.

Congrats on missing the entire point of this thread. If there's any group out there that has earned the public's hatred, it's cyclists.

Or maybe they'll just ride up on the sidewalk! Who can say?

What would be impractical or punitive about re-engineering shared spaces to make cyclists slow down when they’re sharing space with pedestrians and stop for pedestrians in crosswalks?

Speedbumps for bike lanes seem very practical.

Cars literally never stop at stop signs.You are especially mad at people on bikes for your own strange reasons.
