        And there we are, same mentality as car drivers…

        I don’t know we’re you live, but bikes going through stops or pedestrians passages without slowing down is not a problem from the pedestrians.

        There’s been multiple terrorist attacks with people just driving cars. Try doing that on a bike

            Crashes into one person. Picks up his bike hops on. Moves around in a circle to build up speed, and bam. Another person with a scraped elbow
