Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

And here in VA they will be ticketed. At least around my way

 

There's no enforcement here.

 

That is bullshit. I totally agree with you guys then

 

Around here bicyclists can and do get ticketed which they should, one jackass is getting prosecuted for manslaughter because he hit a guy in a crosswalk on a fixie. They have a right to use the roads and they must obey the laws. What pisses me off is inattentive drivers who put us at risk because of their behavior. Failing to stop at crosswalks, right turns in front of me. I don't go flaunting an attitude because I'm on a bike but if you put my life in danger I'll return the favor.

 

I'd LOVE to see a pesky cyclist ticketed for casually riding through a red light.

 

I get what your saying, but at the times I saw them, going to work / coming home. Sidewalks where empty. And most around here ride mountain bikes or hybrids, which could take a bump or too. It wasn't the people who got killed fault either. Infact one was a hit n run. Just saying, is it worth your life also, to avoid a bump or two, and to go around people? Not to me. I did just fine staying on sidewalks, so its not like I'm saying it with no experience of my own.

 

Dude, Ive seen a cop stop a cyclist for not wearing a helmet, and instructing him to walk the bike home...I was like...WOW


Im not sure the guy did it though after the cop left

 

That's awesome!!^^

So you're one of them are ya? I'm courteous to cyclists. Even if they are assholes, I sill don't want to run them down.

 

yep. not worth my life or thiers

 

Thank you, all I ask is that you pay attention and don't put my life in danger. I have no problem obeying the traffic laws and in a lot of places, it's either not safe or practical to ride on the sidewalk and a lot of place forbid it.

 

Of course, being Japan, they made a live-action version:

 

I feel like a link between this kind of wtf and nuke radiation should be explored...

 

wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle should be a choice. IMO

as should riding a motorcycle. seatbelts also should be a choice.

 

:wileyc:

 

in Cali, bike helmets are optional for adults, mandatory for kids

 

same in FL. kids under 16 is law. and a stupid law IMO.

seat belts are law...stupid. because I have to wear a seatbelt in my car/truck...but I don't have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle.

 

It's the Man trying to keep you down

or not dead or in a coma , IDK , one of those two

 

And people complain about the health care system and how we have to pay for the stupid choices made by others

 

IMO, if you choose to not wear a helmet the hospital should be able to refuse treatment.

 

Can't totally disagree with you on the premise that we could just let Darwinism do it's thing.
