Are you kidding? Riding a bicycle in the street is the very definition of a poor life choice.
Haha I got downvoted, probably by people who ride bikes.
Hey I love bikes, bikes need their own lane. When I grew up the government told me I could not ride my bike on the sidewalk anymore, so I stopped riding bikes. People who ride bikes in the street get hit by cars all the time. You accept the risks of the activities you participate in. Don't whine about how unfair it is. If you aren't willing to accept those risks then you should not engage in risky behavior.

- antisthenes 10y agoYou're getting downvoted, but your perspective about the bike is correct (not sure about the other sentiments) The logic is as follows: if I'm riding a bike on a sidewalk, the damage I can do to a pedestrian is an order of magnitude less than the car can do in damage to me in the street. Hence bicycles should be riding with the pedestrians (on a wider sidewalk), in a dedicated bike lane separated from the cars, or should be banned entirely (for the convenience of motorists). Forcing bikes onto the street with the US driving etiquette is the equivalent to throwing someone in a piranha tank.
