[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do red flashing school bus lights apply to cyclists? In traffic on MacArthur I just saw a speeding cyclist pass a school bus on the left while it was loading kids.  [b]An accident would have been as devastating as with a car for the kid[/b]. One more reason to hate them. [/quote]

No, it wouldn't have been.

But yes, when I'm on a bike, I stop for stopped school buses, just as I do when I'm driving.[/quote]

I think OP needs a better understanding of physics and bodily injury.[/quote]

People are killed by bicyclists every year and a child hit by a cyclist has a good chance of being severely injured.

Completely agree.  Also, many more people are killed by car drivers every year and a child hit by a car has a much higher chance of being severely injured or killed.

Both are a risk, but it’s silly to say that bicyclists  are a similar level of risk. By that logic, so are joggers.[/quote]

Silly to conclude same level of risk, but that you for the opportunity to voice my loathing for entitled runners (especially in groups) who barrel down busy sidewalks where bikes and skateboards are (at least technically) banned. [/quote]
