@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

Roxbury Safeway is outside of Seattle. They’ll double bag it in plastic or paper, too!

[Graciano]

The wifey is looking for a good fitness class that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg to go/join and doesn’t commit you to a long term agreement in case it doesn’t work out for her, she has a back injury. She’s noticed “Fitness with a Purpose” in the Greenbridge area and was wondering about it??? any other good ideas would be much appreciated!
OH we live in the North Shorewood area.

[Talaki34]

If you or maybe a friend have a COSTCO card, travel to a store outside of Seattle (Tukwila?) and purchase in bulk. There is a Safeway on 128th/1st Ave in Burien and a Fred Meyer a bit further down on 1st that you could purchase the Gatorade at.

I do understand being brand specific. Even a slight difference in taste, smell or consistency can make consumption impossible for someone dealing with cancer.

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.

[JanS]

Mark47..rude, angry, aggressive cyclists – that’s OK with you? Take care of your own,call them out when they are wrong, and stop saying it’s only car drivers that are the aggressive one. Please, you know better than that. I have a lot of respect for most cyclists, but that doesn’t excuse the assholes in the crowd. . I’ll watch your back when I drive, you watch mine..fair?.

cyclists on sidewalks are a hazard to pedestrians
you know. people who walk.

[WSB]

I apologize, but we did everything we could to try to find out, as explained in the story. Called multiple Coast Guard “after hours media info” numbers multiple times, in addition to (after getting the series of 5 am texts) scouring flight trackers, marine trackers, Twitter, etc. The trackers did not show a single identified aircraft or vessel in the area at the time. (On occasion, rescuers are detectable because a vessel that IS identified – such as a state ferry – shows up, off course.) Military/Homeland Security aircraft don’t show up on trackers, and their radio transmissions are not monitorable either, so unlike SPD and Guardian One type activity, there was nothing we could have had even any remote hope of picking up via radio. Sorry, we do our best, pulled out everything in our bag of tricks, but sometimes it does take hours to get info. – TR

[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.

Entertainment Center 50″ wide x 48″ high x 16″ deep. I don’t have any use for it anymore. In excellent shape. Typical wooden laminate particle board. all corners and sides in great shape. Two small cabinets on the bottom. Rack for 5 audio/video components. Middle TV space: 28″ wide x 26″ deep x 16″ deep. If the add is still up, then yep, it’s still available. Thanks for looking.

[TSurly]

I was thinking the same thing but didn’t bring it up. I better be careful not to upset him, he may start sending motars and bottle rockets over my house.

[WSB]

When did you leave your bicycle? By the end of the year they were closed. We published their closing announcement in early December:

BIZNOTES, JUNCTION EDITION: West Seattle Cyclery closing; two openings; one move

Did you already try info@westseattlecyclery.com ? Checking one of their social-media pages, they said they were making arrangements to get repaired bikes to their owner but could be contacted that way, otherwise.

Good luck! – TR

You really want to add another level of government bureaucracy over this? Another government office, more government employees, more paper, more resources, more enforcement for…bicyclists running stop signs and lights? Really?
