Brightside bikers all use the sidewalk which is annoying.

And Capital Heights's bike lane is now a pedestrian sidewalk. Frustrating.

Ahh that's rich coming from bike riders who want drivers to obey the law and allow them on the road while they watch the bike blast through a red light or stop sign.

If a city has the money to pay for a bike lane and doesn't have more important shite to spend their money on Im ok with it. However that's a far cry from:

If you want every city to cater to bike riders then bike riders need to start paying a few grand in taxes and start getting inspection stickers every year plus all the other BS fees drivers pay for in order for the city to provide a road.

I laugh when Im in New Orleans and see freshly paved bike lanes on streets that have bike sized bunkers for pot holes.

You mean the shirt that lets you know what the law is?



Do you realize that most drivers are ignorant of this law?

Along with giving pedestrians the right away when crossimg the street. Just makes sense really which is why we probably don't do it.


How about you riding on the sidewalks and leave the streets for the motorized vehicles.

Because in real cities(those not filled with lazy fat fckers), lots of people walk on sidewalks. It's not safe for the walkers or bikers for bikers to ride on sidewalks.

Prytania Expressway is where it's at for biking Uptown to Downtown. Carrollton bike lane to St. Charles bike lane to Prytania. You can be downtown in no time.
