Cycling Compilations: Pedestrian Edition

[@djfearross4144]

God help these people when electric cars really start hitting the road.

[@jamesfield1674]

NEVER EVER CROSS A ROAD WHILST LOOKING AT YOUR GOD DAMN PHONE, they should make this illegal.

[@isa9engineer430]

[@marksherrit5874]

I think the key word on those shared cycle paths was SLOW

[@andersoncosta5526]

It does say slow on the ground where he nearly ran someone down, so not all the pedestrians fault!

[@roadbiker8333]

I was going slowly. It's actually all pedestrian's fault for failing to look for oncoming traffic and step into the path on the road.

[@ErikSFE]

I'd rather use a train horn.

[@TheFedericohiguain2]

I’ve been looking for a truck horn but they do required some type of battery, I really need one when I commuting through manhattan, people just don’t care anymore

[@generalviewer8347]

i skid my tire loudly!

[@seankirby2580]

Looks like the lanes were designed for conflict.

[@fepeerreview3150]

Walking? Don't do stupid things. Cycling/driving? Don't go so fast that you can't safely stop when other people do stupid things. Yes, that means mostly we all need to slow down and pay attention.

[@richardoakley8800]

Its called cycling with out due care and attention section 29 of the road traffic act 1988..

[@roadbiker8333]

Wrong. If you walk into the path of a vehicle, it’s your own fault, not the driver.

[@underwaterbubbles]

You need one of those loud get out of the way horns rather than a singing canary.

[@roadbiker8333]

I was thinking of the loudbicycle horn. But the size is way too big. I hope they will make a really compact sized horn that has the same effect as cars.

[@underwaterbubbles]

Yes they are a bit big unfortunately as they would be a great warning sound.

[@atffan]

It just goes to prove the point that all road users need to be aware of their surroundings and of each other

[@sammybubba176]

can you get a horn that sounds like the sudden screeching of brakes from a large vehicle?

[@MyChilepepper]

Very well, but the cyclist should also slow down when there's a SLOW sign marking on the lane.

[@roadbiker8333]

Pedestrian must look both ways and not step out into approaching vehicles.

[@ZiggySheppardUK]

There seem to be some poorly designed cycle paths here. Lots seem to encourage people to cross them by separating 2 pavements, particularly by bus stops.

[@roadbiker8333]

Otherwise it would have been buses entering cycle lanes to stop forcing cyclists to mix with cars. It's not poor design, it's just pedestrians' poor road manners

[@ZiggySheppardUK]

@@roadbiker8333 It is both poor design and lack of observation. I say that as somebody who is a pedestrian, cyclist, driver and user of public transport.

[@alanturner9609]

Pedestrians take precedent over motor car, look in the Highway Code. Pedestrians take precedent over bicycles, look in the Highway Code. That isn't to say that anyone who ventures onto the street is responsible for themselves.

[@roadbiker8333]

As per highway code no, pedestrian need to give way to vehicles when crossing the road.

[@AS-ll5nd]

East London is so grim man refuse to cycle there

[@Moody_Incorporated]

While I can see how irritating this is for you. UK law is give way to pedestrians (idk where this is looks like London?) on roads and bike lanes even intimidating the pedestrian can be assault and if you hit any of them it would be assault and battery. But that whole randomly jumping in front is ridiculous as well.

[@russellbaston974]

Yes, pedestrians, particularly as when already crossing have right of way, but cyclists, of course are exempt from all/any constraints, red lights included and with cyclists on pavements, where do pedestrians go?

[@roadbiker8333]

Wrong. Pedestrian need to give way to vehicles when crossing the road. Clearly stated in highway code.

[@Blackwater_House]

The old question used to be “if you saw people walking off a cliff, would you?”. To which the old answer was “No”. But since the advent of Smartphones .....

[@braemarbee9889]

Protecting cyclist from motor vehicles is a great policy. Unfortunately these examples show the lanes shift the problem towards pedestrians. A lot of the cycle lanes aren't distinct enough from the pavement to warn and deter pedestrians from crossing. Now, instead of looking to cross the road as one task, you have to do it twice. So there's now conflict between pedestrians and cyclist where previously there was very little.

[@alex2143]

Nah, we see this problem in the Netherlands (specifically in Amsterdam) as well, but only with tourists. Dutch people are used to bikes, they know that they should look before crossing a bike lane. Tourists think the colored sidewalks with little pictures look cute. It's just a matter of getting used to bikes.

[@antcare2804]

I love your 'horn', hilarious!!

[@bazoo513]

Yeah, we saw many videos on cyclists scattering pedestrians like pigeons or running them over on pedestrian crossings. Now a bit from another perspective. People, streets are not your backyard. A bit of attention and making eye contact with the participants around you is all that is needed.

[@eamonnca1]

The bus stop bypasses are great, but it wouldn't hurt to put a fence behind them so that pedestrians can only get to and from them in a limited number of places where there's good visibility and a clearly marked raised zebra crossing that would give them right of way. I wouldn't object to yielding to them in that situation.

[@roadbiker8333]

Agreed, they have added zebra crossing to this, however without the railings. For some reason the councils think that railings are bad... They are good to force pedestrians to cross at a specific safe place.

[@ClarkDroneFilms]

imo, a bell would be much better than what you've got. people recognise the sound of a bell

[@ralphmason1440]

I have a horn on my bike which sounds exactly like that. Some thickos around Dudley step out in front of me, hear the horn and stop dead in their tracks in my path and look into the trees. Whenever I ask why they all say the same, I heard a bird in the tree and was looking to see it! Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here!

[@ryangreenwood7353]

We get that a lot in Glasgow too, one person steps onto the road without looking and the rest follow

[@jeffreymiichael1603]

Yes down south we call them lemmings.

[@durkadur27]

Prime example of why you need daytime running lights and a better horn. These pedestrians just can't see or hear you.

[@davehedgehog4391]

It's pretty dire that this is some of the "best" cycling infrastructure in the whole country. It's embarrassing.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

They're like the walking dead💀. "Brains... Must eat brains."

[@Jus4ya]

some of them clearly have the right of way

[@roadbiker8333]

Which ones?

[@Jus4ya]

Roadbiker the ones where the bus stop is on the other side of the bike lane

[@roadbiker8333]

Well no, they do not have priority then. It's still a part of the road as demonstrated by the dropped kerb, so vehicles have priority. Also, there are other bus stops that have a zebra crossing connecting the two sides. Pedestrian have the priority in those zebra crossing. Since there's no zebra crossing, so they do not have priority.

[@sarpoztugran569]

Well, nobody sees it as the continuation of the road!

[@SuperRyan810]

You have a horn louder than that of a car? Compensating for something?

[@TheTraveller20081]

Mac ManMen - yes, the sound insulation of the vehicle surrounding motorists. You need a horn that they can hear from inside their tin bubbles in order to have any effect.

[@johngta7172]

i thought vehicles have to yield to pedestrians - oh u r a biker, everybody yields to u

[@roadbiker8333]

Hoghway code: if traffic is coming, let it pass. In the UK, vehicles do not have to yield to pedestrians, in fact, it’s the other way round unless in specific situations described in highway code.

[@ericslade4374]

Peds were here before cyclist and cars as a driver I always give way to people cyclist should do the same

[@roadbiker8333]

Just because pedestrians are there first doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. And pedestrians are already able to walk however we want on pavement.

[@mikewade777]

Nobody always gives way to pedestrians.

[@chrisnumnuts8671]

maybe the hornet should have a permanently on switch

[@MCRCyclist]

Don't forget they need taxing too! They are damaging the road.

[@YukariTsuko]

[@doncorleone8686]

The way motorists have to share the road with cyclists the same rule should apply for cyclists sharing the bike lane with pedestrians. If it is good for me it is good for you. Ciao from Little Italy 🇮🇹 Montréal Québec the city of over 700km of bike lanes

[@roadbiker8333]

Problem is, the road is made for everyone, horse riders, cyclists, motorcyclists, drivers. Cycles are solely designed for cyclists. Just like how pavements are solely for pedestrians. If it's a shared path, then I would ride accordingly, but these were not shared path, just a cycle lane.

[@neilross6625]

I remember being taught at Cycling proficiency 50 years ago that head on cyclists are difficult to see because of the narrow profile and impossible to hear. Add in the speed of some of these cyclists can only end in one result as demonstrated in these videos. Whatever happened to always showing respect for other road users?

[@roadbiker8333]

If these pedestrians were obeying the rules, they would get the respect they deserve. For example, i will wait for anyone who started walking on green but unable to finish crossing in time. I will let pedestrians cross zebra crossing even when they are only approaching to the crossing or waiting there. If i turned into a side road without light control, i will let them cross.

[@robbillington3594]

In cycle lanes it should be compulsory to fit a spike to the front of the bike and disable your brakes.

[@alexmagnus3339]

I mean sure, but you could also slow down a bit to time your passing with their crossing for some of these. a 0.5s delay in your trip isn't going to end the world.

[@Velofil]

LOL the last one... ;-)

[@bingola45]

I'm sure he's in GTA V!

[@lazycalm41]

None of these clips are surprising. bikes make no sound ( unless you include the squeeking Canary used here!) However some cyclists DO ride way too fast so is it any surprise people struggle to get out of the way in time? What DID surprise me in a few of these clips was seeing said cyclists actually stopping at red lights! I fainted with the shock actually!

[@steveace-driving-videos]

Some very special people out there. I'm glad I don't cycle in the City centre (of Birmingham) anymore.

[@litalino273]

2:15 It is a zebra crossing U donnot have the priority dude

[@roadbiker8333]

Nope. not zebra crossing. so I did have priority over pedestrians as that's a cycle lane.

[@HimawanAjji]

Reminder : crossing is very very simple

[@esuohdica]

[@roadbiker8333]

Nothing wrong, just a road user using the road as intended and got cut up by those who didnt use the road correctly.

[@Chris-vi6tg]

pedestrians are so innocent, they often think road users would never crash into them. anyone could make the mistake of thinking everyones life matters .

[@frank_0_]

I love your bell/horn I need one! Pew Pew

[@daiburt1833]

I'm forced to ride a bike I really don't enjoy it and I don't regard myself a cyclist although I've never driven a car a lot of those people were already crossing well before he gets to them and I'm sure he could slow down and take a bit more care how does he think they I going to cross ? We have to share there's no choice cycle track's are a recent addition to our road's not the other way around

[@roadbiker8333]

Sharing has to base on a system. Without a system, sharing is not going to work, the road will be no difference to the roads in India. Can I just fly through red lights, change lanes without a care in the world, then just say "share the road!" and expect everyone to get out of my way? The system for roads here is that you either cross the road using the provided infrastructure following the intended usage, or you cross the road anywhere you want but you do not cause approaching traffic to change speed or course. That's how they are suppose to cross.

[@daiburt1833]

Roadbiker never seen a zebra crossing on a cycle track .a lot of tracks share a pavement and riding at speed on them is dangerous to both pedestrian and cyclist if you can keep up with the flow of traffic a cyclist should be on the road

[@X3RUBIM]

1:00: Thats the cyclists mistake... when a bus stops at a busstops the passengers entering and exiting have priority, even when crossing your lane. If you cant safely pass, you need to stop.

[@roadbiker8333]

That’s not true in the UK. Any moving vehicle on the road has priority over pedestrians unless there’s a green man, side road with give way line and zebra crossings. There are no such crossings there, so pedestrians have to give priority to approaching vehicles. There are other bus stops on the same cycle lane that has zebra crossings. The fact that that particular one doesn’t have a zebra crossing, that means pedestrians need to give way.

[@jessicaramos8345]

True. I live in Germany and when a tram or bus stops and passengers go out and there is a bicycle lane some of them might cross, you need to give way. And, even if it wasn't a rule, it is common sense and I dunno, kind?, to be aware and mindful and simply reduce speed and allow them to reach safety. My bike might not be such a weapon against pedestrians like cars, but it still can hurt people if used incorrectly or without kindness.

No you do not have to stop for someone who walks out suddenly into your path. Neither in a car or a bicycle.

Yes some of those pedestrians were at fault, but you also beeped impatiently at an old woman with a heavy shopping trolley and a lady holding her child's hand trying to cross the road as quickly as possible. Be courteous and think of other road users why don't you - that includes pedestrians.

[@roadbiker8333]

Old woman with a shopping trolley failed to read the road and cross the road safely, be courteous and not step into the path of moving vehicles. If their mobility is impaired, they should have followed the green man. I followed green man for weeks when my leg was injured since I couldn't move swiftly out of oncoming cars way. That's being courteous. It's just one simple rule. Cross the road using crossings correctly, otherwise, don't step in front of moving vehicles. I think of other road users, I let pedestrians finish crossing when they can't finish crossing within the green man phase, I give way to them on zebra crossing. But they walked in front of moving vehicles, that's their own fault. And that mom wasn't trying to cross the road as quickly as possible, otherwise, that girl wouldn't have been walking on the road, rather than across. It's only after I sounded my horn when that girl started to walk into the cyclist in front, they realised they were on the road and move swiftly across the road.
