Aww, these hippies are just adorable... Alternatives? No. You may follow the rules of the road you deem we motorists must share. Or, you can walk. Or what about the bus? You can all fit on the bus. Problem solved.
HA! Critical Mass supporters always claimed that they have rights to be on the road and they're vehicles which are the same as bikes and cars, fine with me. But when you are prosecuted by the same law that prosecutes motorists, you take back your word and spin around facts and going out of context? HA!
I slowly pulled into a 70+ bike echelon once when I had the green and they had the red. They weren't happy with me as they came screeching to a halt. I told them to obey the law and have a nice day. The light in particular had a very long cycle on it and I didn't exactly feel like waiting over 5 minutes total because of these douche bags. All i wanted to do was go to work ffs.
I enjoy my mt. bike both off road and on road. Idiots like the ones in these videos embarrass real bike riders.
I ride a fixed gear and i've always stop at every stop light & sign...these riders who does not obey traffic laws,yield for vehicles,pedestrians, etc make other cyclist look bad especially the ones who ride solo ..... just cause you have the proper lights on your bicycle does not make you exempt for the law
I couldn't even watch this all omg I would've arrested that bald women for being an idiot, what do you think he means when the cops says bicyclist and motor vehicles share the same exact laws!
"... laws for bicycles are exactly the same as (for motor) vehicles..." This cop deserves to be mayor of LA. These dumbass kids are relying on the fact that most motor vehicle drivers are decent folks who won't just run them down. It's sad, really, that this is what some people need to do in order to get the attention they so desperately crave. All attention is not good attention, at least not after you're over the age of six.
How to keep your group together? File for a parade permit and the cops will stop traffic for you. Otherwise you are normal vehicles in traffic. Want to be traffic? Then obey the traffic laws.
lol that girl is a dumb ass. Yes some honk in support, some honk for you to get the hell out of the way. It's funny how you all will not learn until you yourself or your friends get hit by a car and get seriously injured or killed. I hate cops but that cop is actually very smart and cool. Protesting is great but do not pass through a red light or really any intersection without stopping, waiting, looking both ways. That's logical.
these are not cyclists...these are punk kids on bikes. Mostly white kids thinking laws don't apply to them. Real cyclists are generally extremely safe/ These punks ruin it for us.
@saxonaa Amen. I could also say the same from my perspective as a driver: most operators ruin the driving experience for us. road rage, speeding, tail-gating, cellphone talking, killing innocent victims, etc.
I ride a single speed in downtown LA and this shaved-head chick is a moron. These kids are just trying to get the attention their parents didn't give them. Obey the laws.
"Do you have advice on how we can keep our group together without doing that?"
If you can't keep your group together without breaking the law, too bad. 200 people each driving their own car don't get to run red lights just because they want to stay together.
I ride my bike every day. I signal, yield when appropriate, and stop for lights. I'll roll through stop signs, but only when there isn't cross traffic (and I mean roll through them slowly, all but stopping _not_ blow through them).
Critical mass is ruining it. I didn't give a shit before but now I HATE cyclist with a PASSION. I'm just waiting for someone to scratch my car or block traffic with their bike just to be an asshole. I'm waiting.
Car Culture is ruining it. I didn't give shit before but now I HATE motorists with a PASSION. I'm just waiting for someone to scratch my bike or block traffic with their car just to be an asshole. Oh, that's everyday.
that dumb bitch needs to shut the fuck up... and the cops just doing his job, i mena, i run stop signs but, i am very carful, i look a lot, some of these dumbass critical mass riders just fucking bomb lights and do the most dumbest shit
I support Critical Mass and cycling but we must obey the same rules as cars if we are to share the road and earn respect. There is no double standard for cyclists just as there is no double standard for motorcyclists. The woman started out with a loosing argument. If you run a light, you break the law. It's as simple as that so the cop is right in this case. I know she wants an alternative to cars but running red lights doesn't help.
This is a very patient and logical Officer.Car drivers who give you a "thumbs up" does not give you any reason to run a red light.How about stopping for the red, and regrouping on the other side of the intersection? I know,not very anarchistic,but perhaps you'll live to see another day,or not get cited.Follow the law.Period.
omg, these bikers are a bunch of idiots. it is illegal to run a red light on a bike and its also illegal to go through a stop sign without stopping. i should know i do it all the time, but i havent got caught yet
its true you dumb asses its illegal for a reason, i worked in downtown la as a bike security and also rode my FIXIE home.. its stupid how people think they can break the law and not suffer consequences. just ride safely, don't run red lights and have a good time
Ok, first off, i'm an asshole on a bike and would do the same shit...
The fact of the matter is, you are breaking the law, and trying to say that it'd be alright for you to run red lights in big groups would be acceptable daily is just laughable. Not to mention you sound like idiots...
okay, we ride bikes and I go through red lights all the god damn time on my bike, but if you look for cops like you do when you in a car you won't get caught. Stop trying to change a huge law. people die... :\ dumbass bitch
Bitch get with the program, you are one stupid dumb broad, bikes or cars, they are all alike and they have to follow the road regulations. There are no special privileges for you f'ers! so get with the program and stop whining. They should get points deducted on their actual DMV licenses or IDs and after certain amount of points have their privileges for biking taken away.
The day that cyclists begin to generate more revenue for cities than people behind motor vehicles do is the day that bicycle lanes will be as wide as an entire car lane, will be paved with gold and have spray mist installed all over. Until that day, bicyclists should just accept ruling economic facts.
and you suck because you live in france. where if you are a pedestrian and a car runs you over you owe them money. any how about the fact that no one else in the world respects you?
I'm all for promoting bicycling but really, do cyclists really think that they are exempt from red lights when every other sorry bastard on the same street (motorist, pedestrian, crazy guy with superman cape, etc)is required to stop at the red light? Using this chicks logic, then a group of 50 drag racers can just run red lights any given time simply because they are "in a group" and the law should allow it?
yeah, but you totally know the risk if you run the light, we are the ones in danger not you in the car, you have a dent in your car and we are dead we should choose
You sir are a fucking moron. It doesn't matter if you get hurt more from the outcome, you are still fucking someones day or even life up because of ignorance.
Besides what happens if the car swirves and hits another car head on and ends up killing someone else to save your stupid ass?
Laws are made for a reason, and just because your jobless, broccoli eating, hippi ass doesn't understand them does not mean they should not exist.
Do the gene pool a favour and have a bleach cocktail.
Ya sure, how did the computer that you are typing on get to the store that you bought it from?
What about when someone has a heart attack or some shit and the paramedics need to get there fast in order to save a life. How should they get there, sprint?
This is why noone takes you idiots seriously, you don't think things thru before you talk shit.
I agree I am an avid cyclist and I hate my friends who think its ok to break the laws. When we do critical mass and people start taunting motorists or taking up two lanes of road. I stop my ride. It is not productive in my mine.
Cities such as West Hollywood and Santa Monica claim to be environmentally friendly and green yet they maintain a contentious relationship with bicyclists. Currently bicycle activists are attempting to meet with these cities to rectify the situation. Other bicyclists have refrained from engaging in commerce or purchasing products and services in these cities until they change their policies towards the bicycle community.
There's an easy solution for that: Shop at Wal-Mart. Money that goes to them is lost forever to your community. I mean, sure you'll be fattening a global conglomerate but that sure will learn your local government.
Cars speed, change lanes illegally, illegal U-turns, drive drunk or stoned, endanger pedestrians other cars and themselves. Yet only a small fraction are ticketed.
The crumbling LA car culture is in its death throes. Yet drivers view bicyclists as an intrusion on the road. According to the California Vehicle Code, CVC 21200. (a) Every person riding a bicycle upon a highway has all the rights and is subject to all the provisions applicable to the driver of a vehicle...
Cyclists run red lights, ride in the middle of busy intersections, disobey stop signs, and all other traffic laws. Do you realize how many car accidents are caused by cyclists' negligence?
