I thought I was supporting a local business when I called these people to fix a lock http://locksmithwestseattle.com/

Warning: do not use this service. The “locksmith” entered my home, did not fix the lock – actually made it worse – and would not leave until he was paid $150.

Also he tried to tell me the lock we have is “very expensive” and would cost $350 to replace. It was $17 on amazon.

When it was obvious he had no idea what he was doing I asked him to leave and offered to pay his service call fee. He intimidated me and would not go insisting he could fix the lock.

One of the reasons I chose them is because when you google west seattle locksmith, their site comes up and shows 9.8 out of 10 stars based on 47 reviews. After he left I looked closer and they have built those reviews into their website meta data. They do not have a google business page to receive reviews.

It looks like they are working hard to show up in search results as there are seaprate sites for federal way, issaquah, etc.

Does anyone know where I can report these scammers so others don’t get duped?

[PangolinPie]

JoB, you’re quite right! I love the food at Greek House (but their lighting is kinda weird and harsh, I find). There’s also Smarty Pants for yummy brunches.

[PangolinPie]

There are actually quite a few surprisingly good restaurants in Burien! Frankie’s Bistro has great food and a wonderful rotating menu, Marlaina’s Mediterranean Kitchen has excellent food and super friendly service, Elliott Bay Brewery is really good too, Royal Everest Kitchen has outstanding indian food, the Poke place is good..all of them have some kind of parking and are easy to get to from W. Seattle. Burien has become our go-to when we don’t want to deal with the Junction or other crowded WS places.

[anonyme]

That seems large for a fairy. Then again, some of the piles they’re required to pick up can be sizeable.

[EdSane]

@JoB, To me this is more discussion then rant but to each their own I suppose. I’ve grown tired of the ‘fireworks’ discussion and how that thread was essentially everyone talking over everyone else including that it is lost on anyone that my position was that the law should be enforced 364 days out of the year and that blanket bans/prohibition usually do not curb behavior. In fact my thread of logic is consistent to this issue too. I don’t believe enforcing traffic laws will completely stop this behavior either. It is a social/civic issue that I believe will only change over time as opinions evolve (or driver-less cars which ever come first). I’ve already stated that here briefly.

If you wanted to start a thread on bad drivers or a particular spot where many break the law I would participate. I use to rent an apartment on Avalon prior to and after the street conversion for the RapidRide Line. Now you have drivers impatiently going around the bus rather then stopping. I do believe there are bad drivers and I wish SPD had a more beefed up traffic division to handle a city the size that we’ve grown to… The discussion started regarding bicyclists and I was keeping my thoughts to that topic.

@mark, by tribal I mean more the ‘defense as one’ not in the sense that all are one. Similar in my mind to gun rights enthusiast who perceive an attack on even those who break the law as an attack on all.

There are certainly cyclists that feel exempt from traffic laws. As to passing on the right. I’m fine with bicyclist doing that and it is totally legal. I actually think its smarter and safer for the bicyclist to scoot ahead at red lights so they don’t get hit from behind and also as a driver it is easier to see them as I make room to pass. My issue is that some bicyclists insist on passing the car at speed when there is not enough room (e.g. traffic is 15mph and there are parked cars, tight lane with no dedicated bike lane). They shouldn’t be squeezing themselves within inches of my mirror just to get one or two spots ahead.

As to the Idaho Stop Law, I’m not too familiar with it but from what you’ve stated I’d be interested in how Seattle might adopt such a law. The stop sign as a yield sign sounds fine in theory however I wonder if the average bicyclists would slow down as they approached or blow through at speed. I’m not cool with the red light being treated as a stop sign especially on major arterials.

Again my outrage is directed at the bicyclists who break the law and don’t share the road. There are a few I encounter daily. I’m all for common sense laws. I just want a little enforcement too. It doesn’t bother me if a bicyclists gets ahead of me or is faster due to traffic.

[mark47n]

Ed, your attempt to separate cyclists and drivers isn’t going to work as they are one and the same. Also, I suspect that far more cyclists follow the traffic laws than don’t. Be that as it may…

You want to blame the “tribal” aspect and make this assumption that all cyclists are one. They are not. They are no more of one mind that drivers are. In fact, the vast and overwhelming majority of cyclists are drivers themselves. How do you think folks like me get out and ride in the Snoqualmie Valley and other distant places? Would you like me to lump you in with the group of drivers that have tried, actively, to door me, run me off the road or have thrown things at me? Probably not.

You want to complain that cyclists pass you on the right in traffic while you’re stopped. So, I should not proceed unless you’re in motion? Perhaps you should check your mirrors and then your right side wouldn’t be such a blind spot.

There are rude and inconsiderate people on both sides of this divide but only one of them places their own skin at risk, literally. Often it seems a lot like sour grapes. The cyclist cruises right past on your right as you sit locked up in traffic. Often not going faster than 10 mph. They aren’t careless, they are placing a great deal of trust in you holding up your part of the bargain. The part that says you’ll check your mirrors and stay off your phone. Cyclists literally place their lives in the hands of drivers in this way. They trust that drivers will follow the rules, even if they rant and rave about cyclists, and not kill them.

No one has said that cyclists are exempt from traffic laws. No one has ever made that assertion. I do know that if cyclists followed every single traffic law that drivers would definitely not appreciate it. This was thoroughly demonstrated a year or two ago when this was put into action by the cyclists in a part of SF known as the wiggle. By fully complying they tied up traffic something fierce. Many places in the world have realized that they have to change laws so as to accommodate cyclists. Idaho, Quebec, Holland, much of Scandinavia and the list goes on. These are regions that have realized that it’s not workable to have multiple classes of user follow the same rules and carry the same liability. We do that here already. Large trucks have different rules and different liability. Pedestrians and school buses have different rules and liability. Ultimately, the liability increases with the hazards associated with the vehicle. In this country we’ve decided that cyclists are in the same hazard class as cars and semi’s and that’s ridiculous on its face.

Let’s now discuss the “Idaho Stop Law”. This was adopted in Idaho in 1982. It allows bikes to treat stop signs as yields, red lights as stop signs and allows bikes to move up to the front thereby promoting visibility and keeping traffic moving for everyone. Since this was adopted there has been no rise in injuries involving cyclists. It hurt no one. It improved traffic. Conversely, the malicious compliance action that tied up the Wiggle showed the reverse. If cyclists complied with all laws they would tie up traffic. So, which do you want?

I want the Idaho Stop Law and you should too. It would benefit you, Ed, but cyclists would still move faster than you. It would just mean they were now following the law and that would take all the wind out of the sails of your ship out outrage.

EdSane…
Please. “The topics aren’t even related unless you want to compare two nights a year to commuting every day.”

you are being disingenuous… and i am choosing that word to be polite. you have stated that you live in our greater neighborhood so you are not unaware that the fireworks issue is far greater than 2 nights a year… even if you count only those two holidays.. and not the celebration of points scoring or victories for sports teams or other more obscure holidays that are celebrated with fireworks.

the tie that binds these topics is law. You state that bicyclists should obey the law unequivocally.. but that people who set off fireworks don’t need to because that law should be changed… there is dissonance there and a complete denial of the fact that cyclists believe that some of the traffic laws should be changed to better protect them…

but.. if you don’t want to muddle your rant against cyclists with fireworks.. let’s stick to rules of the road .. you might ask yourself why you are not as adamant that drivers should unequivocally adhere to the law.. no speeding. not even up or down Admiral Hill where it is clear people think the law should be changed… coming to an absolute stop at all stop lights and stop signs .. i was nearly t-boned yesterday coming up the hill from Thriftway by someone who totally ignored the stop sign… stopping every time a pedestrian stands on the verge of a crosswalk.. or better yet actually ceding pedestrians the right of way at all times under all circumstances .. that’s the law too… leaving a safe margin around all bicyclists .. etc…

i could go on but i am sure you get the point.

your insistence that one group of citizens should be held accountable for breaking the law while ignoring other groups that don’t is the problem..

it’s the message.. not the fact that you are the messenger.

@AJP, you just stated we can’t go after bicyclists there are more important things. That fits right inline with my reasoning that we’re only bringing up bad drivers to cloud the issue concerning bicyclist. I think we can walk and chew gum. Specifically, when something is a cultural issue (attitudes), active discussion and civic engagement is what curbs issues. For example, the cellphone law is a step in the right direction but its more the social shaming aspect that will eventually win over the crowd (not police enforcement). However, I don’t see the bicyclist crowd acknowledging any issues without the ‘but drivers’ which tells me this is more about tribal identity then anything else.

With regards to conduct. We all need to display the same conduct to each other when driving, riding or walking. It only works because we have a system of rules and expectations and we take predictable actions. Bicycles should not run up the blind side of a car within inches, they should stop at traffic control signals and yield to pedestrians. They’re not exempt because they’re less likely to cause death or injury to anyone but themselves. In fact their unpredictable actions could have severe consequences when drivers react or over react in an attempt to avoid an incident. Accidents are dynamic and chain reactions happen all the time.

@TSurly, please re-read the firework thread. I stated unequivocally that I did not discharge any unlawful fireworks at all. I merely advocated that they should be legal. I have many friends where they are legal and I went there. But again this line of attack is meant to discredit me the person and not my point or even add to the discussion. The topics arn’t even related unless you want to compare two nights a year to commuting every day.

@EdSane as Job pointed out, it appears you fall back on the rule of law when unlawful behavior affects you. Your unlawfully behavior (deploying illegal fireworks in a densely poupulated area) could easily cause signicant property damage or worse and I find it laughable that you come on here and criticize cyclist for minor traffic infractions. Perhaps their should be some kind of licensing requirement to buy and deploy fireworks so that when someones house is burned down the responsible party can be held accountable.

To your point though, I’m sure you wouldn’t intentionally shoot fireworks at my house, and I apologize for saying that.

[AJP]

We’re not saying “we cannot at all address issues with bicyclists until all bad drivers are dealt with”, we’re saying that bicycles and cars are NOT equally dangerous, by a long shot, and that with our limited resources for police and bureaucratic enforcement, going after cyclists isn’t justified. There’s not good reason to do so. The code of conduct for drivers should NOT be equal to cyclists because they aren’t equally dangerous, at all. It’s a false equivalency. Of course cyclists shouldn’t be jerks, but jerk drivers are capable of far worse damages. By a lot. It’s not the same.

[AJP]

The damage a car can do–to a cyclist, to a pedestrian, to another car, to trees, houses, infrastructure is far greater than a cyclist can do to any of those things. Just look at the viaduct this afternoon. A crash where no one was hurt, effectively grinding the city to a halt. The risk involved with cyclist accidents simply doesn’t warrant the amount of money needed to spend on enforcement and accountability. Risk vs. benefit does not add up.

You’re saying cyclists and drivers should be equally accountable, but they don’t cause equal damage. You’re saying cyclists have an “us vs. them” mentality, and not acknowledging that drivers have an “us vs. them” mentality while driving a 2000+ lb vehicle. You’re saying there’s a cultural attitude that cyclists (definitely the minority) have against drivers (most cyclists are also drivers), but why do you not acknowledge the cultural attitudes of drivers who antagonize cyclists, at the risk of actually hurting them?

As a cyclist and a driver, I see good drivers, terrible drivers, and extremely dangerous drivers. I see good cyclists and rude cyclists, but when cyclists are rude the only person they’re putting in harm’s way is themselves (with some rare exceptions, mostly to pedestrians).

Not to mention that the majority of cyclists are working class, often poor, who would like to drive but can’t afford to. Are you in favor of adding another regulation and fee to the working class and poor?

Again, just straight across, the amount of money a cyclist can do in damage is nowhere near what the cost of regulating cyclists would be. It’s financially irresponsible.

[EdSane]

@mark47n, the thread was directed at bicyclists and issues they present specifically to cars. I don’t see this as a bone of contention. Issues on drivers is a separate topic. Which is why I pointed out that the document you presented is only helpful if it’s acknowledged that the code of conduct drivers are expected to show towards riders is equally shown by bicyclists. For example, I need to give at least 3 feet of room when passing a bicyclist. They should give me the same courtesy too and not slide within inches of my mirror at 15 mph on a crowded street or take up all of Delridge when there are no parked cars and staying to the right was both safe and prudent. This is what I mean when its a cultural attitude. An us vs them mentality that many bicyclists display when they ride around and some of them intentionally antagonize drivers.

To be clear my wish for some form of registration has nothing to do with needing licensing for rules of the road. I’d be happy if bicycle serial numbers were large and permanently affixed to be easily read. I feel that a lot of the issues (both bicycle & drivers) are that people feel ‘anonymous’ when they are out in public and that should not be the case when they are utilizing public roads.

As to the article I cited. My point there was that the data is clearly being collected including a section on pedestrian accidents. This leads me to believe that police do actively investigate issues. I don’t disagree with a lack of citations. But my point is that this is not limited to bicyclists. In the majority of non-major (no fatality or serious injury) accidents where there is a lack of direct evidence there is unlikely to be any citation. I’m just not buying into a conspiracy against bicyclists.

@tsurly, I’m sorry that happened to you. However, the theme of the thread was directed at misbehaving bicyclists. To me this is more of a civics issue rather then political. But, it seems this is fracturing along tribal lines which is more true of politics then anything. It seems to me that the underlying theme of your posts is that we cannot at all address issues with bicyclists until all bad drivers are dealt with. This seems more related to how political parties argue that we can’t talk about ‘this’ issue until ‘that’ issue has been handled. How would anything work with those types of ultimatums? And again I ask what was the purpose of the personal attack other then to discredit my voice rather then discuss the topic at hand?

[TSurly]

This morning on my bike commute to downtown, an asian male in his early to mid 30’s driving a white jeep cherokee/grand cherokee (didn’t get his plate #) got pissed that I took the lane riding down Avalon. I was keeping pace with traffic, so I don’t know what his issue was. He dicided to pass me on the short stretch of Yancy between Avalon and Andover, needing to speed (my speedometer was reading 27), go head on to oncoming traffic, and slam on his brakes at the bottom of the hill when he got to the queue at the stop sign. I caught up to him at the light of Andover and Delridge and gave him an earful (no cursing) about his stupid, dangerous move to get no further ahead and just sit in more traffic. Of course he waited until the light changed, and as he was driving on Delridge towards the bridge, rolled down his window and yelled “stay left a**hole.”

Hopefully the coward will man up and come on here to explain/justify his actions, but I’m not holding my breath. He’s probably still sitting in traffic.

Unforntunately I did not have my helmet camera with me today, it would have been a nice video to share. Moving forward, I think I’m going to update this thread (or start a new one with a more catchy subject line) with a video link each time a driver endangers me or another cyclist. I need to limit the scope to just that, because posting video everytime a driver endangers a pedestrian or another driver would be a full time job.

I don’t disagree with the cultural aspect regarding violating traffic laws, I admit to having done so and that it happens. I’m not justifying it and this is not a part of assertive riding. For the most part I see bike commuters obeying traffic signals unless the signal doesn’t detect bicycles. Again, I don’t excuse it, just acknowledge it. The bone of contention here is that no one is discussing unsafe drivers or drivers that intentionally endanger cyclists and they are out there.

Given that a vast majority of cyclists, of any stripe, own cars I feel comfortable saying that they are familiar with the rules of the road. The point of that document is absolutely to educate drivers on how to safely interact with cyclists on the road.

No one is questioning that cyclists are liable for any damage they inflict.

The comment about the lopsidedness of citations is pretty well documented. drivers, by and large, are not cited in collisions with cyclists even when the evidence is overwhelming. This is a nationwide issue. The study you cite has no mention that I could find regarding citations. While there may not be data available, here in Seattle, it’s been studied elsewhere. One of the most common excuses that drivers use is that the cyclist did something “unexpected”, never mind that the driver’s responsibility is to be sure to account for the fact that cyclists have to avoid gratings, be careful of RR tracks, debris in the road, etc. This is one of the reasons that the 3′ rule exists. Also demonstrated, in one of the studies that I perused, was that many cops don’t always know the laws as they pertain to cyclists such as I am not compelled to use a bike lane or path if it exists, it’s up to my discretion to determine what is safer. A good example of that would be the “bike path” under the viaduct. It runs through parking lots, is full of debris, often has tents and is crowded with pedestrians. As I can reasonably predict what a car will do I’ll take the car over erratic pedestrians and people backing out of parking spaces.

There are things that need to change. Cyclists really do need to follow the law but many traffic laws are not well adapted to cyclists.

FYI, Idaho cyclists can treat stop signs as yield signs. How do you like them apples?

@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

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.

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.
