Cyclists are not pedestrians
Feel like it's about time for the reminder that cyclists have to follow the same rules of the road as motorists.
The other day, I was pulling out of a parking lot on campus when this cyclist rips around me and slows down right in front of my car, then proceeded to blow through a stop sign. On a downhill. With both of his hands in his pockets. I ended up passing him a minute later, and he just stared me down smugly. He was in the middle of the road, not a sidewalk.
I don't know what this is or why he felt the need to almost get hit. Maybe he wanted some kind of insurance payout, but he still would've been the one who caused an accident.
You don't have automatic right of way just because you're on a bike. Im a cyclist, too, and I follow the rules of the road. You should, too.
