This never bothered me for some reason. I always figured the only injury is when they have an accident that will only hurt themselves since the vehicles are so small. I remember once I was in a standstill on the LIE and bikes were whizzing in between lanes at full speed. Not a chance I would take.
This is nothing new either. I recollect from childhood that there were friends of older sibs of mine that did this. This’d be decades ago in the in the old gas crunch.
This drives the gov completely nuts though. No registration, sometimes no license, hard to catch, and no easy revenue from the approximately one hundred million speed, red light, turn on red, box blocking, and school bus cameras in DC.
In that regard only, I kind of admire their freedom. On the road in an off-the-grid sort of way.
I dont admire people acting like fuching a55holes and not giving two sh1ts about anyone elses safety.
One For FREEDOM!
LOVE IT.
