@mark47n, I grant that you have a right to the road. I read through the document you linked and though it was geared towards educating drivers I believe many bicyclist would gain something out of reading it too. Because we’re suppose to share the road and properly yield the right of way. By being assertive bicyclists are failing that and by blowing through red lights and stops signs they fail it. Sure, I’ve broken traffic laws (5mph over is about the only one intentionally). If we observed a driver constantly blowing through the crosswalk next to Boren K-8 (not yielding to peds), blowing through red lights down Delridge or failing to yield at stop signs around the junction. I’m sure they would get a mention on this blog. Yet, I see all of this regularly with multiple bicyclists. This tells me it is a cultural issue with their mentality. So maybe they need a wag of the finger from members of their community. Your angle to denigrate drivers just seems to be away to obfuscate the topic of the thread which is about bicyclists.

As for liability. To be clear they are not required to carry insurance they are still liable for any actions they take. This is why both drivers and bicyclists should carry cameras. If you blow through a red light and hit my door panel you pay.

Finally, the comment about drivers not being charged or ‘getting away’ seems pretty disingenuous. If the police did not personally observe the incident, there are no witnesses to corroborate the story by either party and the physical evidence is unclear who had the right of way the police will more then likely assist with the exchange of information and document that an incident occurred. They are not going to cite either driver in that scenario. Now if a major collision or death occurs a full investigation would ensue and final charges would be left to the prosecution team though the officers would make a recommendation.

i believe the tax will be levied on Seattle distributors which will likely mean that you will have to go quite a bit further than the city limits to find sugary drinks that are cheaper

[mark47n]

JanS: I didn’t excuse rude, angry cyclists as you seem to think. I said that they are out there as are rude angry drivers. The chief difference is that rude, angry cyclists don’t kill cars. I also didn’t say anything at all like what you’re ascribing to me. I said that a lot of road cyclists are assertive and their aggressive style MAY come from a desire to not be turned into a pancake. As I’ve pointed out in other cycling threads; I have a right to be on the roadway. It’s not a privilege, it’s a right.

Your desire for me to lecture fellow cyclists is ridiculous. I can just visualize some other cyclist shaking their finger at me for what they believe to be bad behavior. I’d likely just ride away.

EdSane: As I stated above; I have a right to be on the roadway. Before you get all up in arms regarding liability consider that motorcycles and collectors vehicles are exempted from insurance requirements in this state. As to my violating traffic laws, yes, I have. Tell me you haven’t…ever.

Sorry to say, angry drivers who have to watch cyclists move faster than them in this city, comparing cars and bikes is ridiculous in the extreme. I might dent you body work while a car would maim or kill me. Bear in mind that Washington state law says that you must provide 3′ of space around me.(<http://www.dol.wa.gov/business/drivertraining/docs/bicycletestanswers.pdf). Perhaps I’ll be more concerned about cyclist behavior that only really endangers themselves when drivers start to understand the laws that govern bicycles and there interaction and use of the roads.

Unfortunately for the cycling community, drivers get away with injuring or killing cyclists at an alarming rate. There have been many articles stating statistics about this in periodicals that are not bicycle centered.

[AJP]

Ok, so yes, Edsane is fine with millions of dollars of government money being spent on small, hard-to-read tags on a bike so he can report them when they take the lane (legally) or do other things that are either illegal or inconveniencing to him. This despite the fact that cyclists causing accidents and injuries is extremely rare. Cyclists being annoying and/or a$$es occurs about as much as drivers doing similar things, though the consequences of a driver in a 2,000 lb vehicle are far worse. And back up to the original poster’s fear of being found at fault in a cyclist/car collision: drivers are very rarely cited for hitting cyclists, even when they are killed. But we should still spend resources on going after the cyclists.

[EdSane]

To be clear I don’t think bicyclists should be in the streets at all if there are sidewalks available. I realize that opinion is in the minority and that we are required to ‘share’ the road. That said I’m tired of the cyclists who break traffic laws and hog the road. Those actions are dangerous and can/do lead to injury. And I think there would be less of those actions if they had a large identifying tag on the back of the bicycle.

@TSurly, why the personal attack?

[JanS]

hahahaha…but, but…Benghazi…the OP asked a legit question, and at least 2 people made excuses, blaming car drivers. Yes, we know you think there are too many cars, and I agree. Hell, there are too many people, with too many cars. But the OP makes a point. You need to lecture your fellow bicyclists on their bad behavior. We’re all in this together, want the same goal, and that’s getting home safe at night.

[TSurly]

@EdSane there are a**holes everywhere, in cars and on bikes. Current state law does not require bicycles to be licensed, and until it does, please stop using that tired argument. The bottom line is when a cyclist makes a dangerous or illegal maneuver on the road, they are often held accountable by having the fear of god struck in them, road rash, broken bones or worse. The choice to do something stupid on a bike has nothing to do with anonymity. It is the same bad decision that someone chooses to do behind the wheel of a car.

[PangolinPie]

So are you planning to pay less than minimum wage? Is that legal? Also, it’s “piqued” your interest (as I mentioned when you posted this in September – not keeping employees?).

[mark47n]

I’m with AJP on this one.

Look, all cyclists want is to not be hit by cars. Often, in my experience, when I have a close call with or have been hit by a driver I’m riding exactly where I’m supposed to be, as far as the law is concerned, and doing all of the things that I’m supposed to.

Yes, I’ve run lights. I’ve run stop signs. I’ve ridden on the sidewalk if it’s more convenient or right in the lane, like under the viaduct. Many drivers simply don’t like cyclists and it’s that simple, either because we zip right by to the front of the queue, exercise the rights that we do have, such as taking up space on the road, or because we violate traffic laws.

As for attitudes; cyclists tend to be assertive about where they can go, even aggressive, because their a bit wound up. Road riding requires your full attention and, because of angry drivers, is rather dangerous. I won’t excuse rude cyclists but there are simply more rude drivers. Rude, angry, aggressive, ragey drivers.

The other point that AJP makes is right on the money. Drivers of cars don’t get cited when they hit bikes. Even when it’s egregious. Cops hate cyclists too, so you’re in good company. If they didn’t they’d cite more drivers. I did see one ragey driver get pulled over. It was right after a BMW cut me off with a left turn on 4th. A cop saw it and pulled him over. I’ve never seen a cop pull over a driver for cutting off a cyclist.

[kgraham3131]

As I drove home from work yesterday I found myself in quite a bit of traffic, while driving through Pioneer Square I witnessed several bicyclists running red lights and otherwise traveling VERY unsafely.

It is frustrating to me as a driver who in no way wants to hit anyone however when you come up in my blind spot after running a red light and I don’t see you because I have the right of way I don’t see how it would be my fault that you got hurt. After this cyclist turned LEFT on a RED LIGHT I watched as he rode his bike through a coned off construction area and then again ran another red light.
HOW CAN CYCLISTS WANT TO BE ‘TREATED’ LIKE CARS ON THE ROADS IN OUR LANES OF TRAFFIC YET YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE ROADS (STOP SIGNS, LIGHT LAWS)
I even had a cyclist hit my side mirror one day due to him insisting on cutting in front of the line of traffic at a light down by the stadium.
Is there a way to report unsafe bicyclists?
-concerned driver

[savoirfaire]

Or at all, of course, but tailgating buses, which by definition make frequent stops, is especially pointless.

This morning my bus driver had to leave me behind because someone was following him so closely that he couldn’t safely stop at the bus stop.

I get it that our streets, even some of our arterials, are pretty narrow, and it can be frustrating to be behind a bus. That person had other options, though: they could have passed the bus when it was legal and safe to do so; they could have diverted a block and gotten ahead of the bus; or they could have just observed a safe and legal following distance knowing that they were behind a bus that was going to need to stop.

Instead, I’m late for work, and that bus driver is probably going to be worrying all day that I’m going to complain to Metro. And for what? I doubt the tailgating driver got where they were going any sooner.

Let’s please remember that we all have places to get to, the roads exist so that we can all get to those places, and when we’re out there on the roads we have a responsibility to take each other into account.

This is about TAXES vs DYING PEOPLE, not Saturday School House Rock.
PLEASE ignore the rhetoric, but I am sad and angry.
Before you read this I would ask that you think about any person(s) you love the most….and read it from that place in your head.
Your soda tax just ensured a more direct and painful experience for my partner who has incurable cancer and diarrhea so bad, we have to ensure he keeps his electrolytes balanced and now you have added more stress to an already heartbroken partner….or if it makes it easier, tax payer.
I ask you to read this all the way through, but I will be honest, I need to vent, but I will be respectful (as best I can)…I just ask that you read this all the way through….PLEASE!!
Let me state it right off the bat…been a Democrat my entire life, I have zero belief in god and I have been with my partner for 24 years, what hopefully will be, 25 years just like any other couple.
Please keep reading…PLEASE!!
This is me…
• I am no saint but I believe if we all stopped and talked to one another, the decisions we make could be more thoughtful…but it’s not that way.
• When I go out to eat, I only eat 1/2 my meals and package the other 1/2 and give it to a homeless person. They are gonna maybe eat from a trash can, so why not try to make sure its ok? And I avoid unnecessary overeating…win/win
• I have not eaten meat and never fish for almost 30 years now…I love animals but I don’t push my belief on others. Although I hope if there is a god, he/she is an actual cow, that would be justice :)
• I acknowledge homeless people as they are people, but I don’t randomly give my money…but I will buy you a burger
• I will do random acts of kindness like buy $2500 annually worth of dog food from my local pet store and ask them to give them to anyone who needs the help. We have a lot of people over here who can barely take care of themselves and it bothers me their animals could suffer as well, so I just try to take the stress off. (PetPros in Westwood village)
• And yes, I am the a**hole who reads the fine print on contracts at Apple Computer counter making others find another register. Not trying to be an a**, but if you are going to put a contract on 30 sheets of receipt paper, then I am going to read it before I sign.
• I help random people out and ask that, at some point in their life, pay me back by doing one kind selfless thing for another person. Only they know if they will ever pay me back…but that’s not what it’s about.
• I have lots of faults, but that’s not going to help my letter.
My best asset though, I wake up each day and reflect on the day before and make sure to address any regrets. I am not perfect at this, however if I can at least try…then I am a better man. I don’t need to believe in a god to try and be a good person.
Now that you have a picture of me….let me paint a picture of my partner who has been GRAVELY affected.
• Lived here his whole life
• Has NEVER bounced a check although he at times had no food. His bills came first because he promised to pay back debts before himself. Even in his challenged health he makes sure his bills are paid before he lays down for his frequent naps.
• His credit score is 802
• In his 25 years at the Seattle Times, he missed 12 days of work. Even when he had to drive from W. Seattle to Bothell he was the man you could count on …..and I have counted on him to be my friend and partner for the last 25 years.
About 5 years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. Group Health unfortunately did not follow up with him, and it spread and now is incurable. He went from 145/150 lbs, to a low of 115 (today 121).
The new chemo is kicking his a**, but he is trying to fight. He loses so much water due to his upset stomach, so we use electrolytes to keep him balanced.
Soda Tax
So now not only do we have the expenses and stress of cancer on a single income:
Strike 1: Cancer
Strike 2: House collapsing…ask Lisa Herbold, and now
Strike 3: Taxing Gatorade…THE one thing he can stomach. So now you have doubled a cost effective “medication”. He can’t do pedialyte and its $5.00….it was not designed for adults who can drink much more especially when they are sick.
Maybe your plan was “So what, they can drive to another city or county and buy all the pop or gatorade they want…as long as we get our cut for those who don’t”. Let’s be honest, you can say it’s all for a specific pet project, but it will routed to the general fund before the first tax hits the tax collectors.
I am not fundamentally against making it a luxury that is taxed because of the damage it does, but I am sure the council thought heavily about, instead of punishing tax payers, they could incentivize businesses to carry products from companies who think about humans, health and the environment?? The magical image Seattle likes.
Maybe tax breaks for
• Smaller packaging – less landfill crap
• Healthier and properly portioned products
• Recyclable products (yes Seattle is working on this but again in a weird revenue way)
• Sustainable products
Reward a business that is willing to do that. At the end of the day in this scenario, doesn’t everyone win?? Seattle prides itself on these ideas, so why not encourage the people who bring product to sell in Seattle, to participate??
So the point of this story was to tell you that your tax has effectively put my family in ration mode again to TRY and save the one I love.
I am not interested in having to get a doctor’s note to be tax exempt, but if that’s what has to be done at least do something. City Council did not think this through except to only address a council pet project for the downtown core, but we are real people tax payers.
Please Fix this! He should not have to suffer any more at the hands of Seattle City Council, destroying anything that does not improve downtown…
If you made it this far, I hope you understand my only concern is my partner. I need to fight for him and every other person who doesn’t know how or have the energy.
Please pretend this was your family on a modest means and do the right thing.
Bruce
P.s Congrats on your victory to be Seattles Mayor. I wish you success and hope you are a thoughtful and strong leader….I don’t think I wasted my vote!

That seems about right as for the level of service to expect there. I have been 3 times. Once during West Fest. Sat at the bar and had a beer with a friend. The bartender was a woman who also worked at A Terrible Beauty when it was open. She was helpful however the male bartender was rather surly. Had to flag someone down for both the beer and the check.

Second time was for dinner with my wife and youngest child. We were seated quickly but had to flag down a server. The owner ended up taking our order. I tried the corned beef and cabbage. The meat was very fatty and the cabbage was cold.

The third time we went was for my daughters fund raiser. We again had to flag down our server to order. I had the hamburger. The owner brought it to our table and told me it was ground chuck and hand formed, and the buns are baked at the family bakery. Sadly it was a very small burger patty. It tasted good.
however, just could have been a little bigger. After we all ate we had to flag down someone to get our check. Glad I checked the bill as we received the tab for another table.

On the way out the owner stopped us at the door to ask how everything was. I was very honest that service is a little lacking. He recommended we come in for brunch, it is very good he says. The bread comes from the family bakery he repeated himself.

The ambiance is not very comfortable. It’s bright and I agree that the TVs are distracting. Turn them on for a game otherwise leave them off or muted. I recall one loud one in the back when we were trying to eat.

I’m willing to give them another shot but it’s not my first go to in west seattle.

Finally got to the grill. Went on a Sunday night, thinking a less crowded place would be a good first time test. Got seated very promptly. Got water, then sat for about 15 minutes before someone came to take our order. There were only a few other tables with customers. Food came out at a normal wait. Food was just OK. Fish and chips were a bit fishy. I think it was the owner who brought my fish and chips. Told me the fish was very fresh. The owner had to go to two tables to talk to unhappy diners. One table of 4 next to us, he finally comped their meal. My main issue is the 7 large TV screens tuned to 3 different stations. Makes for visual chaos. One had the volume turned up. Quite annoying. One had closed captioning. The other five had programs but no sound or CC. That is fine with sports, as it is a visual program. But 60 minutes with no CC – whats the point? The service and food were not good enough to counter the TV annoyance. I doubt I will be back for dinner. Might try brunch some morning, as I hear that is good.

Hello, I’m in desperate need of moving help. I have items in storage that I finally get to move into a home after 6 months. I will rent a truck (hopefully available), meet you at my storage unit here in West Seattle, load and unload in Madison Valley/ Madison Village.
Honestly the move is not hard, did this 6 months ago with one other person and I’m a 5’1″ female around 100lbs. The furniture is not super heavy, it’s just a bulky. I would do it again but my Fibromyalgia flares real bad.

List of items:

Bookcase-light
TV Console- about 3ft tall, long a bit heavy
Bedroom Dresser- about 3ft tall, long a bit heavy
Full size mattress
2 couches- 1 is a bit tricky to handle because it’s oddly shaped but won’t fall apart when handled.
The rest is just small boxes and bags of clothes.

I do not need help arranging furniture or moving it back and forth. It is a small place, one floor, just move stuff through the door pretty much.

So why not look on Craigslist? I did, it’s expensive for me. I can’t offer much and they are asking for more than I can pay and require more hours than I need them for. I don’t think this will take long with 2 strong guys or ladies if you aren’t moving slow on purpose.
I can pay $20 per hour per person. No less than 2 hours for sure considering commute, most likely 3 hours. I wanted to start early in the day but didn’t get replies so any time before 4pm that way I can make sure I can rent a moving truck. If anyone knows for sure Tuesday the 16th be a definite yes I am also fine with that.
