I’m a driver , jogger and a bicyclist ( obviously not at same time ) and I find that many bike riders don’t follow the rules of the road or use common sense, thus putting themselves at risk.
Pre pandemic , I would walk from Penn Station to 16 st to see my doctor. I wish I had a dollar for every bike riding the wrong way against traffic, running red lights. riding on the sidewalk or listening to music on headphones.i actually saw one guy texting while riding .
Can drivers be careless? Absulutely but since a bicycle offers little protection in a collision with a car, in behooves a cyclist to be extra cautious and aware of their surroundings
