    In NYC, maniacs ride ebikes and mopeds on both the sidewalk and the street as it benefits them. Every time I walk my dog I have to dodge the fuckers going full speed down the sidewalk. And they always glare at the pedestrians like you’re the problem.

      In other words, cyclists denied appropriate infrastructure are forced to use infrastructure for other transportation modes inappropriately.

      But sure, blame the “maniacs” for having no other choice.

        They also have a choice to follow the rules of the sidewalk they’re hopping on. Y’all are having this cars vs bikes thing and I’m happy for you but now you’re endangering pedestrians by getting onto pedestrian infrastructure without following pedestrian rules.

        cyclists denied appropriate infrastructure

        Clearly you’ve never been to NYC… There’s bike lanes everywhere.
