Ok, well keep ignoring the facts then. I just ask next time you're out riding a bicycle to ride in the proper part of your lane, signal your turns and I'll have nothing to complain about. Thanks.

I know all the other top sprinters are out, and that he has the most finely tuned lead out train in years, but what he’s doing is absolutely incredible. Career rescued from the scrap heap, last minute call to the tour and now this?! Absolutely loving it.Mark Cavendish…again

Cops handing out $125 tickets to cyclists exceeding 20 km/h in high park
"I thought it was quite a poor use of resources to be ticketing cyclists who have no way of knowing how fast they're going."
On Monday and Tuesday, officers handed 126 tickets to drivers and cyclists for speeding or failing to pause at stop signs.
Soooooo by that logic, everybody going 10-15 over should get ticketed in their cars/on motorcycles?! Cause that would be 90% of cars on the roads.Good.
Speedos are $30 and every bike shop sells them. Doesn't go well with the hipster single speed bike look but too bad.
Also. All road users got hit. As they deserve it they are all vehicles.
My current car will drop a gear if cruise is on and speed increases by 5 kph over setpoint. I don't think more than one gear though so you can still get 20 over.Soooooo by that logic, everybody going 10-15 over should get ticketed in their cars/on motorcycles?! Cause that would be 90% of cars on the roads.
Kinda hypocritical if you ask me. Heck if its setup at the bottom of a hill, even if my car was on freaking cruise control i'd probably get a ticket.

Shi+ like that no longer aggravates me. Why should I get worked up about his death-wish?I can say the cyclist I had the displeasure of having an encounter with on Saturday didn't paint bikers with a good light.
Crawling stop and go traffic downtown Burlington just coming into the downtown I had about a 5 or 6 foot gap to the car in front of me and from my left side (turning lane) a cyclist cuts right, in front of my truck and then carries on quickly against the curb past all of the cars in front of me. about 5 seconds later I see his friend coming up the left side of me as well so I hit my gas to close the gap to the car in front of me as I knew he was going to pull same stunt. Blew on my horn as he was in front of my windshield in between the now 3 foot gap to the car in front and just about lost control and stopped so we could both yell out "F-U" to each other a couple of times and then carried on riding his bike along the curb (no bike lane)
My only regret is not making a smaller gap to the car in front of me faster to make him crash so he could explain to the police his complete disregard of traffic laws.
Thing is it’s not a small percentage for cyclists, it’s more likely the majority. In my neighborhood I rarely see a cyclist stop or signal. I see stupid **** all day long, in fact I’d say a very small minority obey stop signs, traffic signals and fewer use hand signals.…
I get that there’s small percent of cyclists that act like complete jackasses, same thing with motorcyclists. But the actual impact to you in this case was what?…
A $125 speedo is 25 over… you gotta know you’re running fast, speedometer or not.Soooooo by that logic, everybody going 10-15 over should get ticketed in their cars/on motorcycles?! Cause that would be 90% of cars on the roads.

I will hit 40km/h, without pedaling on my beater, steel single speed on a hill...the girl in the pic of the article has a freaking basket on her bike ffs. Listen, i get it for the guys that are willfully pedaling through the hill trying to hit a top speed record, but for the casual person having a leisurely ride on a sunday that's just letting gravity do its thing...it's kinda douchey from the cops.Thing is it’s not a small percentage for cyclists, it’s more likely the majority.

I cycle with my wife occasionally, the group thinks I’m goofing with them when I signal and stop 100% of the time. They also hate my champion shorts, Reebok tee, the fact I call my setup clip less (I have no clips), and that I don’t wear a lid.
I am goofing with them.

We’re also talking about a 20km zone through a park.
This story makes me smile!
They ran a dragnet. Anything rolling thru at 20 over got nabbed, not just bicycles.I will hit 40km/h, without pedaling on my beater, steel single speed on a hill...the girl in the pic of the article has a freaking basket on her bike ffs.

From what i can see, the spot they chose is a street within the park, with a bike lane next to it. Ah and theyre blocking the sidewalk for pedestrians. Now i can guarantee you that at least half the cars that drive through there drive faster than most of the cyclists that were stopped there but i guess that doesn't matter. The cyclists are out to kill us!

Where are people getting 20 over? I see speed limit of 20 and set fine of 125. Who says that 21 km/h wasn't getting the ticket?They ran a dragnet. Anything rolling thru at 20 over got nabbed, not just bicycles.
I doubt gravity will stand up as a defence for a leisurely ride at 45kmh in a park.
Fines for speeding are about 125 at 20 over - that was a guess on my part.Where are people getting 20 over? I see speed limit of 20 and set fine of 125. Who says that 21 km/h wasn't getting the ticket?

Sure, run a speed trap.They ran a dragnet. Anything rolling thru at 20 over got nabbed, not just bicycles.

Definitely, but how many laws do you see broken every day in those vehicles. Heck even pedestrians break the law. Police officers break the law.
So if you saw people murdering others every day it's okay for you to do the same?
Well that escalated quickly.So if you saw people murdering others every day it's okay for you to do the same?
