Nothing like adding more HEADACHES to our already crowded Streets & Freeways.
Why are we permitting bicyclists to hinder traffic? That’s all they ever do. They never head to traffic, they roll through stop signs, they ride in groups too large to fit into the bike lanes. Los Angeles is too crowded as it is, we do not need to tie up traffic anymore than it already is. They’re becoming pests, but just because it’s a hobby for the upper middle class they expect the cities to bow into their demands. If you want to shut down streets and tie up traffic, you need to start paying registrations fees on those bikes that costs thousands of dollars then!
Ugh, you are perfectly correct; my sentiments exactly. I never want to go anywhere on those days for fear of running into these idiots. There was one time when I was leaving the back COC parking lot (there was no other exit), and “runners” came barreling down the hill right into my lane. I was forced to slow to a crawl when a person who was probably the “coach” came over to my car and told me to stop before I “killed” somebody. I said, “Why are there people running all over the roadway? The road is for vehicles, not fools running around!” What an outrage!
Seriously. They’re already intrusive!

This always annoys me #sorrynotsorry
Ridiculous & Outrageous!!
Why does a person driving a car think they are so important? All they ever do is speed, tailgate, talk on their cell phones, cut each other off, pollute, kill each other and innocent people, and the list goes on.
I dont ride a bike and havent for years but really, you crybabies, get over it and get a life
