Most bike riders are idiots who don’t follow the rules of traffic.

I recently nearly took out a group of 4 going in the middle of the road — the wrong way against the flow of traffic after they blew through a red light.

Thank you. As a relatively active pedestrian I don't appreciate the bicyclists (especially e-bikes and their scooter cousins) screaming down the sidewalk.

I also notice that many bicyclists have their bike seats set so they can't touch the ground so they like to do this weird ballet on street corners when they have to stop for a light but don't want to touch the ground.

And yes, they love to ride three, four, and five wide even though that is against the law and a stupid idea when they are competing for the same space with cars and trucks.

Our city has about 100 miles of trails. There’s about 5 miles through Obama’s relatives so we’d don’t do that to stay safe. We avoid main roads, with a few exceptions of short distances. We’re always careful where cars pull out from businesses and restaurants and driveways. We’ve probably biked 20,000 miles without a car hitting us.
