OK,First, this is exactly the kind of comment that as moderator I might just delete. That is a power I have wielded only when essential. Second, it and similar post is a driveby from an immediately erased user account. Another reason I might chose to delete it.Thirdly I use it as an example of what to avoid in these forums. I do not wish to censor, tho I will edit honestly

cyclists are thrill seekers. you must be crazy to ride your bike on the same road as so many car accidents happen. so many drunk drivers. nobody deserves to die but this could happen so easily that it is pretty stupid not to ride your bike on the sidewalk or a trail.

Bicycles are meant to be ridden on the street. At least where I’m from it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk. We aren’t looking for thrills, we’re trying to commute.

well it’s not illegal to ride on the sidewalk here in houston. it’s just plain dangerous to ride in the street here. i have nothing against riding your bike to work. but when you are a competitive cyclist getting in the way of the houston traffic it is not smart and does not make the traffic any better. people get hit all the time. it’s just those competitive guys that get me. they need to find a real rural area to ride where there is no traffic.

There aren’t trails down town Toronto. And as a pedestrian,I don’t like cyclists riding on the sidewalk. The other day, one guy blew right past me while I was standing at a red. I had my hands full with food. I heard another cyclist yell ‘assh****’ at that cyclist. If there was a car coming, he would have been killed. There are bad cyclists and bad drivers, but it’s cars that cause more injuries and deaths. Getting cyclists a safe way to ride, off sidewalks, is better for everyone.

well sorry pedestrian. you know instead of fighting, we should ban together and take these cyclists off the streets for good. start with the small fry and eventually we’ll take down the fat cats. maybe they should put wings on bikes so they could fly over us. it’s much safer for cyclists to ride on the sidewalk with all the other pedestrians. that’s how i feel. your not going to change my mind. i’m not going to change yours. so there is really no point to go back and forth.

To me, cyclists riding fast on sidewalks is irresponsible and inconsiderate, but for coasting slowly, I don’t see a problem with it. On the sidewalk, or on the street its all about moving safely with the traffic flows.

I agree that it has come to the point that cyclists need to ride on sidewalks because it’s safer than being on the street. Except, there are the occasional ones who ride their bike at excessive speeds on sidewalks, and don’t obey stop lights. If a cyclist is going to ride on a sidewalk, they need to go at a slower speed, not the same speed they would be going if they were on the street. I also don’t like motorized wheelchairs or rollerbladers going at excessive speeds on sidewalks, by the way.

A passenger can be seen moving in their seat in the black and white footage… too bad its black and white footage. They seem to be wearing a very light coloured jacket.
