Useless commentary. Who cares if there's been 34 accidents in a whole year on bikes? Especially when you consider that bump against the guardrail to be an "accident" How stupid.
I like how he does not mention all the tourist cyclists. There's at least a half dozen bike rental places a couple/few miles from the bridge. Oh right that would be bad for business. Let's just blame it on cyclists in general. Solution: get rid of a car lane, plenty of room for everyone!
As far as I am concerned, the bikers who intentionally elbow and shove people need to be smacked down by bridge security, it's assault pure and simple. I too would return the favour.
It's too bad that the maintenance crew uses the west side walkway to stow their gear, otherwise I would say that all bikers need to be moved over there, away from the walkers.
If these accidents keep up, they may have no choice- somebody is eventually going to get really hurt otherwise.
Bikes are allowed on both sides. Bay side is Bikes and Pedestrians, Ocean side is Bikes only. I'll ride Ocean side, a lot safer and you can go faster since there's not pedestrians.
you should come to sf state and check out all the bikers that speed downhill inside the campus while people are walking. they cut in and out avoiding people left and right.
Nothing new here. I've rode across many times, and I was either having to dodge inattentive walkers, bikers or whose Lance Armstrong wannabes who cruise at high speed without regard to other people on the bridge. If someone elbowed me, I'd return the favor. They should have the walkers/tourists on one side and the bikers on the other at all times, and not put them together.
i've only ridden my bike on the golden gate once before but i can easily see how this can be an issue, its just like how we dont ride on the sidewalks but imagine somewhere as narrow as the golden gate.
Great Vid,New York City is the same constant battle,the Brooklyn bridge pathway is maybe 7,8 feet wide with a line down the middle,people one side bikes,blades runners other side,the manhattan bridge is worse the pathways are only 4 feet or so wide,all are pathways are similar a few feet wide separated by some paint,10 of thousands of people riders,and bladers use these paths everyday,our westside routes are the most used bike paths in the country.I ride a bike and am very careful.
ban them!!!!!!

Where I live, bike bells are mandatory on the bike paths. They should implement that there. And helmets are mandatory too.

What are they doing on that side of the Bridge? I thought the other side was for bikes?
Hmm, it's been awhile since I walked across but not that long.
