As a pedestrian the amount of times I've had to jump out of the way of a cyclist that was using the sidewalk instead of the bike lane, without using any kind of light, reflector, or bell to at least make themselves noticeable, is way too damn high.

It's not just that most cyclists are maniacs with complete and absolute disregard for anyone else using public spaces, it's that they often seem to actively intend to harass and possibly harm everyone else in their vicinity.

I absolutely despise cars, but cyclists..? Cyclists I've learned to fear. At least drivers are required to have a license, and face legal consequences when they misbehave.

I dream of the day all forms of wheeled vehicles, no matter the amount, will be banned from cities and any other places frequented by civilised people (unless they run on tracks; trams and trains are tolerable as long as they are electric and proper barriers are in place to prevent them from causing harm).

IDK.

I saw a guy on a bicycle a month ago screaming at the top of his lungs at cars behind him on the street.

FUCKING GO AROUND YOU PIECES OF SHIT!

to which the first car did and the man promptly kicked the fender and dented it. hilariously he almost fell off his bike but was able to balance it out.

not two feet away was a sidewalk with nary a person on it.

I live in a small city without bike lanes but the sidewalks are really nice(at least in that part of town).

some people have bad days, that's inside and outside the car. many times I don't trust what a bike rider is doing because of the above and it's impossible to see what they're doing. on the rarest of occasions do I know exactly what a rider is doing because they communicate intent very well.
