Bicycles vs Stop Sign

They want the same rights as a car...just not any of the laws....Hmnnnn....Blurry to protect these people from getting tickets.

this video shows that in this intersection there is so much visibility that no one stops...perhaps there should be a yield sign there

[Nakedlouisville]

So, by the same logic it's ok to break the law as long as the visibility is good??  Maybe shoplifting is ok if you have on clear clothes??

Call me a magician, but that car did not stop either.

It has actually been an extremely long time since I've seen a car come to a complete stop. Watch the wheels. If they're moving, it's not stopped.

[Nakedlouisville]

Agreed..2 wrongs don't make a right!!

[Nakedlouisville]

I will give you the "California stop". No I don't expect pedestrians to stop...only those legally required...cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Do you consider a train to be a "killing machine" if someone drives under the stop arms and gets killed? I ride a 765# "killing machine" but I just call it a motorcycle. Yes if I break the law while on it I expect and deserve a ticket or injury in a collision that would be MY FAULT. SAME ROAD SAME RIGHTS...AND RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!

Get a job.

Great work not recording the 2500 lbs killing machine not stopping at the stop sign either.

Cunt.

Sorry, in the 1 hour it took to shoot this video NO motorized vehicles ran the stop sign...just the bicycles. Kinda sad that the best you can come up with is cursing at me though, better luck next time.

@Nakedlouisville Hang on what is that at 0:30 does it stop no it doesn't !!!

[cyclenut]

I would guess that most, if not all, those cyclist also drive automobiles, too. I would guess again they drive the same way the bike..

U know it would be a Good Place to put a bunch of unmarked cop car and watch people and hand out tickets as they run stop signs. Even the bicyclist would get a ticket for running the stop sign.

I love how people on bikes feel the need to ride on the road as that's the legal way of riding... but when it comes to stopping at a stop sign that's not part of the legal rules that apply to them? I could see if you never had a drivers liscence then you never signed there contract that basically agress to obey the law or be finded for it!

Hey guys, the username "freddotu" has blocked me commenting on his videos. He's afraid that I can beat him in a debate. Freedom of speech my ass.

[56Database]

Car's stop so they don't hit anything, bike's stop so... they don't hit a >3000 machine? lol.

@Nakedlouisville

Sure looks like that car ran the stop sign to me. Went past the sign and the line, slowed down to bicycle-like speeds, never came to a complete stop.

@Kirbymcbadass Maybe it is a difference between states, but in Oregon - where there are incredibly large numbers of bicyclists (myself being one of them, but not for everyday use) - toll roads are virtually nonexistent and the roads are mostly paid for by taxes at the gas pump; so in that regard, the bicyclists are not paying the relevant taxes. As for the car comment: my mistake. I thought you were referring to the last car. I also hate it when people do a "California Stop" (as we call it).

[Kirbymcbadass]

@TheOriginalJealot Cyclists are exempt from taxes? I'm pretty sure they pay taxes and tolls on those toll roads as well, fella. Fact remains, what the car did at :32 is called a "california roll"...which is illegal. What I said a year ago was not meant to encourage cyclists to run stop signs, I was pointing out evidence of bias, hypocritical behavior against cyclists. Swirl that in your glass for a moment.

@tdnrarogerg Sounds like we may actually have more to agree on than I originally thought. Here's to hoping more politicians listen to the voters instead of industry and big corporation lobbyists!
