Bikes lanes poorly designed - unsafe for drivers and bikers

Wow. I also saw many cars speeding and couple running red lights yesterday. Shall we all chip in with our observations of bad behavior by road users in Washington, DC. What great fun that would be.

How many of those cars honked their horns to make pedestrians scatter out of the crosswalk while they ran the red light? I’m not talking about technical violations that may have resulted from inattention, which, while extremely dangerous, is not the same as wanton and willful lawbreaking. The problem with too many cyclists is that they expect everyone to adjust to their presence regardless of what the law is. That tendency is worse when they’re in protected bike lanes because they don’t have to worry about cars.

If I’m walking in a crosswalk, having already established a lawful presence there, stop for me. It’s the law and it’s also common courtesy.

Yes, it is. It's the law. Which is routinely broken by drivers of cars, with or without bike lanes, and when drivers do it, they can seriously injure or kill you. But sure, let's focus on bike lanes.

The more people bike instead of drive, the safer you as a pedestrian will be.

You never acknowledge that you have any responsibility for the safety of others as a cyclist, so your argument that I'll be safer with more bike lanes falls flat. That's the problem. Too many cyclists fail to take responsibility for anyone else's safety, even that of other cyclists. I'm pretty sure getting hit by a cyclist on an e-bike or regular bike at 20 mph, which is faster than cars usually go at this intersection because of the congestion, would result in some broken ribs at the least.

A regular bike at 20 mph on a bike lane in your mysterious unnamed intersection in DC? Where is that mysterious unnamed intersection, by the way?

Maybe get off your snippy high horse and recognize that a significant number of people are disabled from using bicycles or bike lanes.

Same for cars.

Well, my brother can be picked up in an Access van, but not so much by someone else riding a bike.

Are you really this ignorant or just evil?

Your brother would be picked up much more reliably in an Access van if the Access van driver weren't delayed by all of the cars on the road.

I don't know about the specific circumstances of your brother, obviously, but it is possible to transport many disabled people by bike, and many disabled people are able to use bike lanes, in places where there are bike lanes to use.

It’s on a downhill. It’s an easy 20. You still keep deflecting instead of acknowledging how your own conduct can put other people at risk.

The Washington Post had a story the other day on how the city spent $4 million to build an entire building at union station for cyclists to lock their bikes (a pole wouldn’t suffice?). Now that absurd building has been padlocked because no one uses it.

Good thing DC doesn’t have any poor people and we can afford to blow $4 million on such silly ideas

Yeesh

I’ve seen cyclists go faster than that on sidewalks. I was driving down one of those streets named after a state, going maybe 25mph, and was passed by a bike on the sidewalk

My own conduct? Tell me where this intersection is, and I will tell you whether I have ever ridden through it on a bike in a bike lane during a red light, at any speed.

Faster than 25 mph, on a bike, on the sidewalk of a street in DC. You don't say.

You’ve been arguing you have no responsibility toward others anywhere so it doesn’t matter where the intersection is. You’re rude wherever you are.

If you’re saying how you ride is ok because it’s no worse than the way the worst driver drives, you’re part of the problem.
