Helmut Jahn just got plowed over by 2 cars because he viewed a stop sign as a mere yield sign while on his bike. Already dumb ass losers on bikes view traffic signage as "suggestions". I see it all the time. Changing the law will lead to more accidents and deaths because dumb fuck bicyclists will act like the dumb fucks that they are. We live in America; not some Third World country where people can't afford cars. Drive a car if you are not in college and over 18. Rahm fucked up downtown Chicago with all the bike lanes no one uses, but now you have to sit there and wait to make a turn because the non-existent bicyclists have their own lights they don't follow anyway. Get with the program and buy a fucking car, or move to fucking China if you want to ride your bike to work.
Come on, there’s plenty of people using the bike lanes in downtown Chicago and surrounding neighborhoods. I've even see them obey traffic signals. You slaves to the almighty steel death trap are just pissed off that people who bicycle don’t have to spend as much money on insurance, parking, maintenance and gas.
I think Chicago officials should make the downtown a car-free zone. Have a year-round October fest, food stands, music, parades, goat yoga and build a combination betting parlor/homeless tent shelter on each corner. Give the streets back to the people!
You should be grateful for bicyclists. Who do you think started the paved roads movement in this country?
I bet you owned a Pinto.
