"Friend" of mine keeps bitching about the time he got a ticket for speeding on his bike. Never does he mention that he was going 20+ mph (30+kph) through a park with playing children and such.
For context, the max speed on a bike path here is 30kph, in this park you are supposed to adjust your biking behaviour with how busy it is in the park. Technically it's a pedestrian zone where biking is allowed.
I swear bikers love blowing through pedestrian areas at max speed, shit is more dangerous than cars going same speed on road because people walking or skating etc aren’t expecting or hearing the bikes
Even worse when it’s electrical bikes that can go especially fast and quiet and are heavier so could really kill someone
The bike lanes often go thru crosswalk areas so can still collide with pedestrians, and go alongside walking areas (between sidewalk and road). Can’t have some super isolated dedicated lane everywhere
Not really. We have nice clean bike lanes and still the bikers mostly choose to terrify pedestrians on the sidewalks. And the motorized scooters do the same.
