[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it funny that the bikers complain about having to slow down for pedestrians but think drivers shouldn't complain about having to slow down for them? [/quote]

You know what's funny?  The fact that you're completely projecting.  Folks who bike are explaining that bike paths are not sufficient for bike travel, and that they're going to use their legal right to ride in the road rather than endanger pedestrians by riding fast on multi-use trails.

The very small minority of unhinged drivers who are posting here basically want to have cyclists banned from the roadways because they want to be able to drive as fast as they want.

The equivalent would be if bikers were to argue that pedestrians should be banned from specific high-traffic sidewalks because it's just. too. dangerous. After all, pedestrians can't keep up with the flow of [bike] traffic, and it's extremely dangerous for them.

Of course, no cyclists are making that argument because we're not a bunch of deranged, overly-entitled cry babies with the coping skills of a three year old.  That clearly isn't the case for the folks who want to ban cyclists.[/quote]
