A few years ago I was at an art exhibit on Royal Street in the Quarter... I was standing on the sidewalk with a glass of wine.. the shop and the sidewalk were both overcrowded... so I looked for traffic coming down the street before I stepped backwards onto the street down from the curb. And a cyclist broadsided me from the other direction, taking us both down, and sending my wine up into the air.
Now THAT guy I wanted to kill.

Cyclists are supposed to be considered cars/trucks for the purposes of observing traffic laws. Yet they want all the rights of a pedestrian when it suits them and all the rights of a car when it suits them. frick cyclists.
And as a side note, why do they have to wear skin tight, ugly-as-shite outfits to go on a damn bike ride? What's up with that? If you're qualifying for a time trial at the Tour de France, sure. But why are these weekend douches spending $200 on riding suits?

That might be true in most states, but they seem to have far greater liberties than cars and trucks in this one.
This close incident was a lesson for both of us, I guess. Even though the law is stupid and very dangerous for him, I need to signal then pause in the street, even if it means pissing off cars behind me, to make sure I don't wipe out some idiot who's operating within a stupid law.

Only if I had seen him. I didn't. It's not something to expect.

I sometimes commute to work on my bike. Today was one of those days. Some jackass on Capital Heights came rolling through a stop sign, and would have hit me if I hadnt forseen him doing it. I yelled hey to let him know I was there, and oh course he stops his car and stares me down. Happens to me about once a week.

Beat his arse for almost damaging your vehicle.
Take the chain off his bike and strangle him a little.

Unlike most people here I LIKE bicycle readers. I think more of us should be. But the law here is stupid, and when I told the guy "you don't do things like that!" out of horror I was correct.

Was he coming from the wrong direction?
Not exactly shocking.

Yes. Riding the wrong way down Royal Street.

frick him and the Schwinn he rode in on! I had one of these dudes kill my passenger side door when I let a guy out at a red light on campus one time.
Boulder CO is the worst place for this shite -- they think they own the roads. Had one give me the finger for turning right on red (legal). He was oh so close to learning about a country boy arse whooping in the rocky mountain state

Seems to be a trend. The first time I was hit by a bicyclist, I was at a crosswalk at LSU. The jackass came full speed in the wrong direction.
The second and third time I was hit by a bicyclist, I was on a sidewalk.

I actually am agreeing and up voting a Rex thread.... Dammnn

It's supposedly legal but stupid as shite. Following the rules of the road can a car do that? I doubt it.

wow man......pretty effed up
I dunno how a "law" can contradict common sense and what's good for other drivers.
I'd like to see exactly how the "law" reads on that
