i'm sorry dude, but if i don't know with 100% certainty that the cyclist will stop, i am selfishly not taking the risk of driving. i just don't want to accidentally kill the person

Oh look the light is turning red because it’s been green for 30 seconds - I need to stop Oh look the lights turning red because there is a car at the cross street - I need to stop Oh look the light is turning red because there is a pedestrian who needs to cross- I need to stop. There is absolutely no reason for a driver to know this. In fact thousands of intersections are controlled with a pedestrian button call. It is completely irrelevant to a driver

In ON, flashing means you can turn left over the road, for eg, because opposing traffic is stopped, like a left arrow. And yes, I was googling and googling to figure out what on earth this BC flasher was, because opposing traffic still flows. Then I gave up. Years later I realized they're pretty much stale greens along the preferred route triggered by crossing traffic. And then I thought that telling us that your light may turn red at some time is stupid because there is a yellow first, so it behaves like an ordinary light as far as you are concerned. Yellow, you stop unless you are unable. Nothing new here, except a superfluous confusing flasher.

I'd buy this scooter but the ridiculous fenders are a deal breaker. They got them right on the Air, Go, and Pro...how could they get it so wrong on this model?! Has anyone with hands-on experience been able to install fender extensions on the City? Is there even enough room between the tire and springs to fit a fender? I'm willing to fabricate a fender out of FG/CF, but if there isn't enough space to do so, I'll have to give this a pass. Thanks!

@@nicthedoor Thanks for the reply, Nic. I think I've got a chance at something workable for the rear wheel, but your shot at 0:24 in the vid has me pretty sure the wheel is just too close to the spring to do anything there. They've got the City at the lowest price I've seen, so normally I'd go for it, but without proper fenders or ones that can be extended, I'll be looking at a something else. Victoria isn't as bad as Van for rain, but it's wet enough, and I like my pants and feet dry when I get to work. Thanks again!

I often watch the behavior of vehicles pulling up to intersections where i am not meant to yield. This has saved me on many occasion. As if i get the feeling they won't properly yield i prepare my vehicle for a sudden stop by lightly braking to lose forward momentum. For example i once saw a car that was supposed to stop driving at a fast pace towards the intersection at night. But did not see his brake lights kick on. Sure enough, if i had not been watching them, they would have t-boned me at speed.

I lived in an old house on hornby, between drake and davie. From my porch, I used to watch cars drive down this bike lane, the wrong way, all the time 😂. One of my favourite things was going for a night time bike ride down this street, around canada place, through coal harbour, then second beach, along the seawall, and then back home. We called it "the loop" and i miss doing it.

Another type of cyclist I have run into are those who bike against traffic. And runs a stop sign as you attempt to make a right hand turn. Then when you nearly hit them they yell at you as if you are doing something wrong. This has happened to me twice.

@knav5216 Cycling infrastructure is significantly more efficient, both in cost and size, along with actually REDUCING the amount needed to be spent on roads, reducing traffic for people who still drive if they still needed (or wanted) to do so. It would also make transportation more feasible for those who can't afford a car as well

Interesting focus on the local streets - yeah from my experience these really are the backbone of the cycling network, and kid of make up for the lack of proper network of protected cycle tracks. It seemed like most trips were local, which serves these types of trips, only having to occasionally cross an arterial every now and then (which you could legally ride on the sidewalk as well). Also saw a lot of kids cycling on their own and and moms with child seats on their bikes, which is a positive indicator that the infrastructure is working (if a majority of your cyclists are in guys in lycra suits on road bikes, your city is doing something wrong 😅).

I am a biker in Colorado and they recently legalized making it so bikers do not have to follow stopsigns. It pisses me off so i have never done this law. When you are on a bicycle you are a vehicle thus you must follow the same laws that a vehicle would follow. It also gives us a bad rep.
