I’m pretty sure that London Bridge is not a prize that people set out to win.
I’m not so sure about that. I suspect some out there will do *anything* to win…

ParticipantIdeal day for London Bridge bragging rights.

Might of missed this in the 25668432467 rule/change posts but do we have a sleaze mileage?

First mile still nets you most points per mile, so technically sleaze mileage would remain the same.

Thanks for that info. I’ve been in Mont. Co. since 1989 and never heard of this. I’ve also never heard of anyone other than this person being charged.
Of course! Yet another obscure law that is inconsequential. Wish they put more effort into enforcing driving yapping/texting laws.

ParticipantFinland does not “kid” around when it comes to things with wheels. Kids are taught not only how to ride their bikes in the worst of winter conditions, they also demand very straigent young drivers training that produced much more skilled motorists behind the wheel regardless of conditions.

ParticipantNearly all traffic signals and laws serve one purpose only: Establish Right of Way. Folks tend to get upset if their RoW is taken and NO, cyclists do not have RoW at all times and do have to stop and/or yield.
When I arrives at an intersection and no one else is there, who cares if I stop or not. But when there are others, I always make sure that RoW is observed and established. I also NEVER interpret RoW such as green light and/or walk signal as SAFE as this sense of entitlement has killed many.
I no longer expect others to obey any traffic rules, but rather operate mostly on what is the stupidest thing another can pull and how to react to it by honing necessary bike handling skills. I also do not subscribe to the notion that traffic laws offer any real protection as people are killed not by those following the law, but by those who ignore it.

It’s actually a very well-made video by The Guardian, discussing cyclist behavior in traffic, some of the reasons why we do the things we do, and whether it’s really as bad as non-cyclists are always complaining about.
Thank you for actually viewing the video before commenting. Just trying to show what some non-cyclists perspectives when it comes to cyclist behaviors. I also found the interview with the policeman to be spot on.

This was probably another case that without a video, nothing would have happened.

Yeah, no. The definitive rule for urban cycling is simply “assume every driver is trying to kill you and ride accordingly.”
Also assume every driver is trying to kill you and drive accordingly.

ParticipantApparently e-scooters do not need to be ridden to cause harm…

ParticipantGetting hit sucks. Hope you and your bike make a full recovery!
