People who rides bikes and/or jog in traffic?
|
I just got back from Austin and was dumbfounded by all the morons riding and jogging in the busy streets. As someone who lives out in the country, it's hard for me to understand these people who seem to be deliberate nuisances and obvious safety hazards. I have no problem with these people going to the park (and we did see many at Zilker) but zipping around in front of drivers on congested streets? Does this insanity bother anyone else?

Bike riders are the worst. They are riding in the road like they are cars. They do not belong in the flow of traffic. |

In some states it is illegal for a biker to ride his or her bike on the sidewalk unless they are walking it. A side walk is designed for those who are walking. A biker is bounded by the same rules as a motor vehicle.
When you are driving, safely slow down or tap your breaks as you pass a biker - going too fast when whipping buy them could cause them to lose their balance.
With respect to joggers, they should NOT be in the street - I cannot stand it when I see it either. They should be on the sidewalk if there is one. And if there is no sidewalk, then their only option is to jog in the street, but they should be jogging toward traffic so they can see who’s coming up at them vs. jogging with traffic & not seeing who is behind them. |

Actually most places consider Bikes to be vehicles and THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE STREET. What bothers me is those ******* who ride their bike on the sidewalk. Now they shouldn't be zipping around in front of others, but if traffic is slow then they should be on the same roads going the same speed, because they are required to follow the same laws of the road. I actually hate anyone who thinks they have a special right to the road though, be it biker or car, or jogger who doesn't know how to keep off the road they don't belong on. |

As long as they don't impede the flow of traffic, dart out in front of cars and make themselves easily visible, I'm fine with it. It's just that people, in general, are stupid. Very few pedestrians and cyclists (especially in more urban areas) follow the basic rules. |

i live in a good size town in the south, not huge like a city but also not a dinky little town you know and i love being in the country when i can get out there, but i don't mind the people walking as long as they're not in the middle of the street and i do see some that do get about 2 feet away from the curb, but i don't like the bikes really, most of them get far enough out in the street you have to go around them and everything, i know they do it for exercise and they have the right away but still, i know we're supposed to share the road but that doesn't mean pedestrians should be allowed to be int he middle of the street either |

you don't say.you don't say how much more for insurance we have to pay for idiots.yes and to think how many of them drive.it bothers me,when the guy behind me wants his bumper next to mine like they should be sweet hearts.and the family of mexicans that think a permanent right of way is in their favor when they walk into the street with out the courtesy of yielding by looking both and every way before making anyone Driving step on the brakes . ya da ya da yada |

They have a lot of this in Austin because of the university but still I know what you are talking about and it drives me crazy as well. |

They shouldn't be using busy roads. That would be frustrating if I had that problem everyday. It seems they take the "Pedestrians have right of way" theory for granted. |
