Bicycle road laws confusion.

[Genx87]

At least this cyclist stopped at the red light. Downtown minneapolis they just run red lights, go the wrong way on a one way, generally act like entitled assholes.

Well I suppose we get some entertainment value out of it, not sure what the upside is for you though.

It's a good workout for him. He gets winded laughing about it.

B-b-b-b-b-buh buh buh but it's for their safety! They have no choice but to act like pedestrians, or cars, or ciclists depending on their mood or else they would surely be immediately run over !

Is SA intentionally misspelling 'cyclist'?

He's been corrected no less than a dozen times between this thread and the last one we had on the matter. I'm pretty sure he just has three or four rants in a text file that he copies/pastes, which is why his arguments/position never adjust to new information/logic/reason. But because it's spelled wrong in that file, it never gets corrected here.

Or he's just stupid.

Where I ride it is legal for a bicyclist to ride hybrid mode. This means that I am legal to ride on the sidewalk, but I must move over for pedestrians. It is also legal for me to use the road, but I must act as a vehicle and obey traffic laws. I prefer the sidewalk, but the park I ride at requires me to cross 1 signaled crosswalk and 2 full blown intersections to get there from my house.

When I use the crosswalk I push the button and wait for the walk signal. I then dismount and walk the bike across. That is the only legal way to use the crosswalk that I know of. It is prohibited to ride the bike through even when it says walk.

If I were acting as a vehicle I would simply stay centered in my lane and wait for the light to turn green and then ride through the lane.

Or brain damage.

Just saying...
