I was given two options, so I pitted the two phones against each other. Pros and cons, you know? And then the winner was the phone I got.

Who doesn’t like bicycles? I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road, and bike lanes are sometimes more of a safety hazard.

Bikers get a lot of hate because a lot of them act like pedestrians. (i.e. riding on sidewalks, crosswalks, not stopping at stop signs, not signalling turns or shoulder-checking) But then if you do all of that dumb law-abiding stuff like some kind of responsible citizen, people in cars honk at you, give you their right of way, or worse!

I’m a cycling instructor. I teach people how to cycle safely and in accordance with laws.

Have a lovely day, thanks for your input. I’m happy someone was ready to discuss with me!

Regardless, the law states that a vehicle must stop at a stop sign. Bikes are considered vehicles, and thus must come to a complete stop.

That’s why you have to practice signalling so that you can maintain control over the bike while signalling. It’s tricky, though, especially for less experienced cyclists. Have a lovely day and thanks for the insight!

As a cycling instructor, I’ve been honked at, verbally harassed, and flipped off more times than I can count. The reason I know the anti-bicycle talking points is because my job is to discourage people from becoming like that.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear in my comment! Have a lovely day and thank you! Your response made me laugh.

I can understand that. I know that the laws (and road conditions) differ from place to place. Where I’m from, sidewalk riding is restricted to younger people, and so as a cycling instructor, I cannot advise my students to ride on the sidewalk, as it would be dangerous to pedestrians.

Thanks for your perspective, though! I hope you have a lovely day and most importantly, stay safe out there!
