  • What??

    Why is the moral that bikers should be safe? Why not the stupid driver clearly not checking their mirrors to make sure it’s safe?

    • Looooooooser

      Because if there’s a collision with a car 99% of the time the biker will be the loser.

    “Stay safe while riding your bike”

    Alt.:
    * Check your mirrors and use a turn signal
    * While riding your bike, expect drivers to make a u-turn across a double-double yellow from the far right side of the road

    Is there a video? Likely will see the biker trying to go around the car double-parked in the bike lane just to get “nailed,” then blamed for getting hit

      Then where, on the sidewalk? And put pedestrians in danger?

      Ideally, we could separate pedestrians, drivers, and bicyclists, but every time we try to do that the community blocks it in favor for prioritizing drivers über ales

  • Crazy streets

    The streets are not rooted in the reality of the city and lifestyle of Brooklyn. It’s a city where everyone is running. And there’s no room for nuke lanes

    Also, bikers, scooters, etc are
    1) Less visible
    2) Qre either ahead or behind traffic so people aren’t expecting them
    3) Weave in and out of every lane and opening
    4) Riding where there are no bike lanes and here in the middle of the street
