[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that cyclists get to ring a bell to have pedestrians scatter out of their way on the side walk but cars have to remain behind the cyclist in the lane? Shouldn't cyclists on sidewalks have to follow the same rules as cars on roads as the faster object?[/quote] Cyclists are often not allowed to be on sidewalks. The bells aren't "to have pedestrians scatter," they're so people know the bicycle is there — if you're using it correctly, you would ring it before passing someone, then pass them by going around them (not by having them get out of your way), and you wouldn't be on the sidewalk. Cars don't HAVE to remain behind cyclists; several cyclists in this thread have said cars should pass them. But apparently some drivers prefer to go really slowly in order to harass cyclists and/or to make other drivers annoyed at them.[/quote]
