helmets

hatsoff said "Should wear helmets. I wish it were law that anyone who rides a bike must wear a helmet. Pisses me off when I have to share the road with someone not wearing a helmet, not respecting the rules of the road.....if you are riding on the road you damn well better stop at that 4 way and red light!

"

You think a bit of plastic is going to help you if you get hit by a car going 110kph?
Another thing that irks me is when a cyclist RIDES across a crosswalk AND the cars that actually stop for them.

Brandon needs bike lanes

"THEY" don't pay insurance, "THEY" don't pay for a licence, and most of "THEY" don't use or know the hand signals. So in conclusion "THEY" should stay out of my 1500 to 2000 dollar a year driving privilege.

I was driving east on Victoria Ave.at maybe 23rd or 24th street & heading toward me was 2 cyclists. Bonus I guess that they were on the street but . . . . going against traffic !!!! It's a "lovely" cloudy dull & rainy day out there & really ~ a driver is expected to anticipate THIS? To the 2 cyclist: too tired to walk your bikes across the street???!
