Bikers are dangerous to pedestrians as well as drivers.
Not only does one have to look out for cars at a stop light, one also has to be careful not to be in the way of bikers who do not obey the street lights. One would think that they would stay in the bike lanes, they don’t.
The strangest thing is tat NYC doesn’t have weather that is conducive to consistently using a bike instead of another form of transportation. While movies are misleading about it, we have a lot of wet weather (to say nothing of the cold winters). It normally rains a couple of days per week in the NYC metro area.
