No. Riding a bike, by itself, is safe. Just like walking is safe, or sitting on park bench, or sitting in outdoor seating at a restaurant, or loading groceries into your car trunk. It's the presence of cars, and people driving cars, that make all of these activities dangerous.

How many of these stupid posts have you written today? Have you done anything else since the moment you woke up?

Believe it or not, there's way more than one of us here.

You're not fooling anyone when you say you're a different poster or that you've never heard of DCUM until now and then say the exact same things you say in the previous 500 posts you wrote here.

I am a different poster than the one you were replying to. You think we are all the same person because we say "carbrain"? LOL. Checked out boomer! Do you know where that saying comes from? It's from a subreddit that has almost half a million subscribers. /r/[swearword]cars.

Uh, huh, right. Normal people don't feel compelled to respond to every single post. You don't have to shout down anyone who has a different opinion than you.

PARIS — On a recent afternoon, the Rue de Rivoli looked like this: Cyclists blowing through red lights in two directions. Delivery bike riders fixating on their cellphones. Electric scooters careening across lanes. Jaywalkers and nervous pedestrians scrambling as if in a video game.

Sarah Famery, a 20-year resident of the Marais neighborhood, braced for the tumult. She looked left, then right, then left and right again before venturing into a crosswalk, only to break into a rant-laden sprint as two cyclists came within inches of grazing her.

“It’s chaos!” exclaimed Ms. Famery, shaking a fist at the swarm of bikes that have displaced cars on the Rue de Rivoli ever since it was remade into a multilane highway for cyclists last year. “Politicians want to make Paris a cycling city, but no one is following any rules,” she said. “It’s becoming risky just to cross the street!”

Lawless cyclists are not such a big problem in DC because there aren't that many of them. But hard to imagine what it would be like if lots of people starting biking.

I drive like a grandma and have had to slam on the breaks multiple times to avoid killing people on bikes barreling through intersections.

So you also drive like a grandma in that you can’t see so well?

NP here. Q for PP:

Are you always so rude? And why do you hate bicycles so much?

You do realize your SUV leaves a massive carbon footprint, and you are choosing to poison the air your children (and everyone’s children) must breathe, right?

Riding your bike makes zero difference to global warming. Sorry. It's too small to matter.

Two bicyclists, with children in tow, came up behind me, crossed four lanes of traffic to turn left onto Dana Place. I know bikes can do a rolling stop through stop signs, but is this correct behavior at a stop sign. It seemed very dangerous to me as cars were crossing Macarthur with the light.

Fools also ride bikes. Anyone riding a bike who runs a red light is just asking to be killed by a car and they are acting foolishly.
