    Yeah, that’s the funny thing about carbrains crying that “bikers should follow the law!!!” They would be crying even harder if bikers actually drove like cars.

    I mean… I bike on the sidewalk all the time because (1) it’s much safer for my life, (2) nobody is ever on the sidewalk (b/c car dependency), and (3) it’s more convenient for drivers. Do these dummies really want me driving in the street taking up the whole lane?

      Following the law is dangerous for cyclists, for sure. If I come to a complete stop at a stop sign I won’t be able to get up to speed instantly, and the motorist might decide to swerve around me and put us both in danger. Or they might road rage and kill me.
