Reply to comment by SaltPepperKetchup215 in Pro-Pedestrian/Biking City Council/Mayoral Candidates by Fattom23

Wait I’m confused, how do cyclists dying have anything to do with the mayor? I bike in the city but some ppl don’t give a damn about road laws on bikes and pull dangerous stuff.

The point he’s trying to make is that the cycling deaths are indicative of the mayors promise for vision zero but no meaningful policy changes were made to achieve it. Even if there were no cycling deaths this year so far, could the city council really take credit? What do they do?

That’s kind of my thought, like bikers in this city can be completely insane, people ignore street lights, stop signs, and the like, hell I’ve had bikes fly past me at a stop sign after I’ve waited and gone to cross in my car. If I didn’t have somewhat decent reaction time someone could have gotten hurt

My point being cyclists who ride dangerously and get into accidents make their own choices, same with drivers and those motorcycle squads. I don’t think you can blame the mayor or whatever for that
