If the bike and ped haters could read, I'm sure they'd be very upset to have their priors completely destroyed.

Bicyclists do so many incredibly dangerous things it's amazing more aren't killed.

They are also largely unnecessary on the roads. At least in this urban area.

Funny. That’s how I feel about drivers after watching the complete insanity on full display on DC streets day in, day out.

We installed cameras in front, both sides and back in all our cars so when the bikes run a red light we have proof.

Too bad for you nobody gives a fvkk.

Drivers install cameras on their cars because cyclists annoy them. Cyclists wear cameras while riding because drivers will kill them...and then lie to the police...who will take their side.

I guess if all bikes were banned from the road, cars would only kill 39,000 people a year? Ban bikes and save a thousand lives!

Ban pedestrians too, and we can probably save another thousand. Then everyone can ride around in a Bradley IFV and no more crash deaths! Where is my consulting fee?
