Do Cyclists Know There Are Rules or Do They Just Not Care?
Sometimes, I think cyclists don’t know there are rules to riding on NYC streets because they are new to this country and don’t know there are rules for cycling since there were none in their country.
Yet, most times I get the feeling that cyclists just don’t care. The video above was posted by an experienced rider in our area this week.
Before our local politicians OVERRIDE Community Board 10 with more bike lanes, check this cyclist’s use of our roads.
While I can’t applaud the cyclists for blowing the red light at the beginning of the video, I give the cyclist props for taking a step back when they stopped in the pedestrian walk and the pedestrian had the right of way.
At the end of the video, the entitled cyclist just takes the center of the street because there is no bike lane. Riding in a car behind the entitled cyclist is awful. The cyclist shared this video on Youtube – does he or she think this is legal?
Hugs,
