What saddens me about this topic is the large amount of hatred coming at cyclists from drivers in the opinion page of the local newspaper (Seattle Times). Why not have some gratitude they are not contributing to traffic, not taking up parking, not polluting, etc. It comes across as pure madness.
- whateveracct 4mo agoseattle cyclists are gigantic PITAs. they pick and choose when to be cars and when to be pedestrians. and they are always bad at being both LOL
- Cpoll 4mo agoI think this is probably a bit selective, but I understand the sentiment. When I'm cycling I keep seeing awful drivers, and when I'm driving I keep seeing reckless and inconsiderate cyclists. The awful infrastructure (poorly considered bike lanes, at best) doesn't make it easy to co-exist, either.
- eliaspro 4mo agoIf they had proper infrastructure, they wouldn't have to choose between "being cars or pedestrians", they could simply be cyclists.
- mrgoldenbrown 4mo agoUsually this happens when there isn't dedicated bike infrastructure, both physical and legal and cultural. Of course they have to pick and choose.
