Typical spandex crowd that thinks they own the trails and the roads. Most of these idiots play by their own rules, fail to obey any traffic rules and it’s all about them.
I hope that cyclist gets hit by a car like he deserves.
I thought the rule was that bikes yield to pedestrians?
Is that a trail for cyclists only?
Around here, many of the cyclists are fags. They’re very uptight.
And he’ll have the audacity to be surprised when someone shoots him. Wonder who he is? He had that persona that some guys get where they think they are a drill instructor and you are supposed to be an intimidated recruit. He had that cop, or just fresh out of the Army manner of speaking.
Keep your dog out of their way too it flips them out
I don’t know. When you’re on a multi-use trail you need to keep in mind there’s mixed traffic, and others can’t always see what your kid or pet is doing. You probably shouldn’t yell at the kid, but as a parent it’s your responsibility to keep them safe, which includes not letting them volunteer to get run over by a bike. I got yelled at by a dog owner once because his dog ran right at front tire when I came out of a blind corner, a tight blind corner so I wasn’t going fast. When on a multi-use trail control your dogs, control your kids, and control yourself.
Is that reason #7694 to absolutely hate cyclists?
The cyclist has been ID’d by police and now it’s in the hands of the prosecutor to decide if charges are appropriate.
When they called it a “trail”, I imagined a path through the woods.
That is a 5 or 6 ft wide sidewalk.
The kid could bite his ankles!!
C’mon man!!
“say a cyclist they encountered on the trails hit one of them in the face, cursed at them and told them to put one of their children on a leash.”
And he’s not in the hospital? I would have decked his ass.
Why is the media blurring out this AH’s face?
Is it because most of these bicyclist are commie lefist?
Anyone have a face shot of this moron?
I have had minor dealings with cyclists for years. Obnoxious people they are, I would be at a cafe and they would park their bikes so as to block the walkways on the patio. Then, a dozen of them would go inside and act like they were the only people there. Horrible people.
Proving again, three year olds should be armed.
There is only one creature on this planet more insufferable than a vegan and that is the cyclist.
so, I went to the Kent Trails site, and seems to me, that the rules for accommodative vehicles should also apply to bikes, to wit, sounding an audible signal when approaching others (such as pedestrians), and staying to the right - especially if traveling more than 5mph. A toddler ‘in the middle of the road’ should have been easily avoided for a biker ‘staying to the right,’ slowing when approaching others, and situationally aware he was on a multi-use paved path.
“Motorized Vehicles are prohibited outside marked parking areas. Single seat Motorized Vehicles used by or for accommodation purposes under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Michigan PWDCRA are permitted. All vehicles used under this Rule shall not exceed five (5) miles per hour on park trails, shall stay to the right on all trails, and shall make an audible noise or alarm to signal or alert other trail users to their presence...”

I’m torn on this. Clearly it’s wrong to yell at a 3 year old but there ARE kids who need to be on a leash. Some parents think kids are like dogs...they should be able to go where they want when they want. There are some dog owners who do not comply with leash laws because THEIR dog isn’t the problem. It’s those other dogs.
