How about the cars respecting bikes on the road as vehicles. You jerk offs!

[fishtoes2000]

I'm aghast at the idiocy of this video, which  reduces cycling-vehicle accidents by discouraging/scaring the public from riding at all.

LA is the worst place in the universe. Why this is true is expalined in this video which states that the automobile is king and everyone else is "bug splatter" (and I thought cyclists were human beings). What a despicable ad campaign.

Ugh, how American.

Who are they telling to ride right, stop at the light? It does appear the message is for cyclists, not drivers. Surely people who feel they need 3 tons of steel, rubber, and plastic to travel to the corner store share should also be told to be careful. I know of few cyclists who aren't aware of the damage cars can do, and ride recklessly. I know of a lot of motorists who seem to be unaware of the momentum a car generates, and drive too fast inappropriately!

Wow a biking PSA that blames the cyclist for traffic accidents. I would say running red lights is NOT general practice for most riders but disregarding the rightful place of bikes in traffic IS the practice of most drivers. How about they start with the biggest problems first?

They also start by talking about riding against traffic and then they say stop at the light. WTF? It's just a poorly written spot or a poorly made argument.

Evidence that bicycles aren't vehicles and shouldn't be treated like vehicles?

Even when a bicyclist rides on the correct side of the road... Bug Splatter?

this is like a PSA for domestic abuse victims that tells women "dont burn your husband's dinner, and dont speak unless spoken to!"

because physics proves a man is much stronger!
