  • Dumb Kid Cyclist

    Coming home from the gym yesterday.

    There was an older kid on a bicycle riding alongside of regular traffic. Usually a nuisance, but you just try to get past them and not worry about it.

    Then there was a red light. All vehicles on the main drag stopped.

    Vehicles on side streets proceed to start going/turning.

    Kid goes flying through red light.

    Comes within inches of being smushed by a pickup truck.

    And continues peddling on, while truck idles there for a second with a very angry, confused driver watching the idiot keep peddling on as if nothing happened.

    Welcome to my city. Cyclists seem to forget that all traffic laws apply to them also. Sometimes they learn better in time. Sometimes they don't.
    I will not be pushed, stamped, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own. --#6

      contact your city alderperson, it's their job to harp on the cops to do theirs(ticketing cyclists for traffic violations), just make sure you word your complaint as a "safety concern"-it works, trust me.
      Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes
