As a pedestrian in Manhattan it's really hard for me to model in my head what a person on a bicycle going to do. What is the protocol for cyclists and red lights - are they supposed to stop like other vehicles? Do people crossing the street with a walk sign have right of way? Can they take free left turns if no cars are at the intersection?
- stolio 13y agoI don't live in as big a city as Manhattan so I can't really say, I've seen videos of some insane bike riding in NYC. Can't believe how some of them ride. I do think cyclists sometimes fail to give pedestrians the respect they deserve, we have to remember that pedestrian's relationship with us mirrors our relationship with cars. I personally try not to come within 5 feet of pedestrians, unless they're standing in a bike lane or something like that. in the sense that we're bigger and faster, but the extent of the danger isn't even close
