Bikes aren’t pedestrians and shouldn’t share any aspect of public space with them. I don’t care beyond that. Additionally if a biker ever complains about pedestrians being “in the bike lane,” the biker should be jailed, their bike impounded, and be forced to ride one of those 1800’s Big wheel bikes.
It’s an entitlement issue. I obviously want cars gone, at the very least from within urban cores, but ideally everywhere. But bikes also share the same issues as car-brained folks. Where they think that because they are a bike and that is better then a car, they should have priority over pedestrians and it’s up to the pedestrians to make sure they aren’t in the “bike lanes,” etc etc.
It’s important to codify that bikes only exist because of a courtesy, but much like cars, they do not hold any status above pedestrians, even if the citizenry has ceded a specific space for them.
No that’s fucking stupid. If pedestrians are in the bike lane they shouldn’t even be outside and its a mystery how they didn’t die in childhood by walking out in the middle of a highway before that. Get off the phone or get off the drugs or something. Just like cars shouldn’t be on the sidewalk or the bike lane. Everyone stays in their own lane and pays attention.
While I’m at it, your mom should be impounded and she is a big wheel bike.

I share space with pedestrians every day on multi use paths. I think bikes and pedestrians are perfectly compatible.
It’s really just the cars that don’t seem compatible with anything else…
