When I'm a pedestrian, I hate drivers.
When I'm a driver, I hate pedestrians.
Either way, I hate bikers.- If you were a biker you'd hate pedestrians. They look through you as if you didn't exist.CyBrainX
- Bikers are nuts though - I rode from prospect park to coney il. the things I did in traffic on a bike made me hate myself.bulletfactory
- i hate when pedestrians just walk out infront. I will hit you instead of having to swerve and run into a car!instrmntl

Looks like he is posting this because he feels guilty and trying to justify his lack of driving skills.

he was on the sidewalk, riding against traffic.
i was looking to the left, he was coming from the right.
another guy from work was right behind me and said he saw me inching forward to make the turn and watched the guy ride right into the front of my car.
the cop didn't issue a ticket because 1. i'd be at fault and would have gotten the ticket 2. my insurance rate would have gone up and 3. i have a 250 deductible so overall it would cost me more to have it fixed that just say 'fuck it' and live with a big scratch.hopefully if karma has it's way some jerkface will plow his car into the front of mine in the near future and i'll get him to fix it.
no i'm not polish. i'm scottish and irish and almost always drunk.
- Whoa, the ethnicism!popfodders
- "i'm scottish and irish and almost always drunk." um. right. So you hit a pedestrian while drunk?dorkKn1ght

i'd have not bothered calling the cops and just knocked the living f*ck out of the cyclist for messing up your car.
If the police do turn up, say HE started the fight 'doing ju-jitsu kinda shit' seeing as you like the ethnicism shit lol.

Someone who rides a BIKE is a CYCLIST.
Someone who rides a motorCYCLE is a BIKER.
Get it right!

The same thing almost happened to me. Biker trying to pass me on the right while I'm turning right. He launched into a tirade. I told him to learn to ride, that you wouldn't pass someone turning right if you were in a car, why the hell would you try to on a bike. He told me to f*ck off and rode away waving his arms.

If he had a "WALK" sign and was going to cross using the crosswalk, you are at fault. However, I believe the law says a cyclist isn't supposed to ride through crosswalks. They're supposed to dismount and walk the bike across which basically.. never happens.
Law aside, sounds like it doesn't matter who is at fault since no injuries, and your deductible and all.
Personally, I blame you for this. You saw him on the sidewalk coming your way, and inched out blindly. Always, always check your right for that wayward pedestrian or cyclist who creeps in front of you. Next time it might be a kid running in front of his mom or some shit. I shudder at this.
And if you're the pedestrian, always watch the cars turning right. Clearly, they ain't looking at you.

"isn't it illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk?"
In most parts of North America it is. He's at fault, and should know better than to dart out into traffic like that.
- I bike to work almost everyday. And wouldn't never do this.aldebaran
- children under 13 can ride on the sidewalk in NYC.bulletfactory
