Entitled Cyclists

[Carl in Michigan]

You cannot comprehend how much I despise these idiots. They all seem to have this attitude. Wyoming, Michigan

Cyclists are dicks but that the "victim" is right much of a *****.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Always carry something to protect yourself.

Cyclists must yield to anyone who is walking

Even a two year old

If all these people had their guns with them, this wouldn't have happened. Guns bring respect for the rights of others.

There is no way I would have let my kids walk by themselves on a bike trail when they were that age. The biker over-reacted and obviously likes to throw his weight around but the Dad created a potentially dangerous situation his kids and bikers.

 

[Mr Natural]

The asshole could have easily ridden his bike around the kid and kept going.

When biking a trail and you see a group of pedestrians ahead

YOU SLOW DOWN
and prepare to stop

You are assuming all bikers are considerate. They are not. You don't make assumptions when you are responsible for 2 and 3 year old kids who easily get distracted.

Why ?
Make sure there is no evidence and then
Mow them down and scarper .

Three year old kid moving loose on a trail !?
Neglectful parent(s) .

There are unwritten rules of conduct and they do not include thoughtless parents allowing mini people to wander , creating trouble .

Regardless , why didn't the father kill the cyclist for being rude ?
I thought that was what Americans did for sport .

There would have been multiple casualties.

They also need to follow traffic signs and signals, but in NYC that's not happening.

I understand going on red after STOPPING and checking the intersection, but for many even that's too much.

Sounds like your a foreignor

Possibly.
But everybody would learn a lesson on how to share a walkway!

If nothing else, the 2A brings respect!

How about carry a walking stick for protection? ever think of that one?

Chain link fences are a sign that somebody learned respect for guns and childrens' rights. School children can return the respect by staying 200 yards back from the fence's no-man's land.

No excuse for not slowing down. If it was another fallen cyclist he would not have had a problem

No, just casualties.

Home owners out walking with guns, save more lives than bicycles.
