Just saw two bikers run their own stop signs and crash into each other.

That happens several times a year right by my house. And add someone who bikes mostly I always go to help out, check on them, call an ambulance if needed. There are some sick people on this thread.

Car drivers have not been advocating for a change to the law to make it legal to ignore a stop sign.

Natural consequences.

You should see how outraged neighbors are about a stop sign camera that strictly enforced the law. They are losing their minds.

I support cyclists, and don't think they're safe enough on our very car-friendly streets, but yes, this story IS funny.

Hilarious.

Thanks for posting, OP.

I’m the OP

First, I’m not sure you understand what the word “sociopath” means.

Second, I never said anything about anyone getting hurt, because apparently no one did, since they immediately started yelling at each other, then went their separate ways about 30 seconds later after a couple of the kids getting out of SF started laughing and recording them on their phones.

Third, I LMAO because it was seriously funny. I’m still laughing about it now.

you are a complete psychopath, which sheds a LOT of light on the people obsessed with being anti-bike lane here lately.

My lord there is nothing psychopathic about her post. You people are too much.

Yes, the rabid bike nuts are completely unhinged.

Car drivers constantly complain about stop signs, speed bumps, and anything else that slows them down. I still don’t find car accidents to be funny

This accident (if it happened the way OP said) was a result of negligence, not the Idaho Stop. The Idaho Stop
means you slow down and verify it is safe to proceed. In any event, car drivers fight tooth and nail against changes intended to make driving safer. And I still don’t laugh when they crash. I call 911.

You think people getting hurt and scared is funny?

Honestly this explains so much about the threads on DCUM and bikes lately.

It doesn't make it legal to ignore a stop sign. It makes it legal to treat them as yield signs. Which, in this case, would have required each of them to slow and one of them to yield way.

[Anonymous]

The issue is that neither slowed down to yield. Had they done that, one or both riders would’ve avoided the accident.

The mom on the cargo bike probably had battery power. Those things have A LOT of mass + the battery ups their speed. They can cause devastating crashed with bad injuries.

It's amazing how people are so ignorant about the Idaho Stop. All it means is you don't need to come to a dead stop and put your feet down. Any decent cyclist can slow to 1 mph while still in/on the pedals.
