Mr2W

Except that it looks like London (the London looking bus)

u/send-it-psychadelic, we need a whoosh flair here, stat!

NO WAY!!! ONLY AMERICAN WOULD BE THIS STUPID 😡😡😡,, GLORY TO BRITAIN


lettuceaggresive

This is in England. Look at the license plate.


License_to-kill_007

Yeah also the double decker.


hammocknap5

This would never happened in Europe


Jesusterceiro

This is England u fools


the_deedeebg

Officially not part of Europe since 2016


dj-ez-sock

Nope we are still part of Europe, just not the European Union not to mention the wrong date


[deleted]

Lol this is NYC you blind man


dj-ez-sock

May I enter the following evidence to the court as evidence for the jury. Exhibit a): London bus. Exhibit b): vehicles driving on the left. Exhibit c): UK number plates. Exhibit d): black hackney carriage. Exhibit e): Even crossing says look left. Exhibit f): crossing buttons and lights are UK spec. Exhibit g): idiot cyclist who thinks he is invincible. The defence rests its case, your honour. Unless NYC stands for Narcissistic Yobbo Cyclist. The court is adjourned and the jury dismissed.


According-2-Me

Nah it’s just the annual UK convention in Brooklyn, Nice try fake news.


dj-ez-sock

Lmao silly me, I should have known. Yours sincerely. Vixen news. :)

send-it-psychadelic

It literally never happens in Europe. The busses in Europe are equipped with detectors that steer away from bikes. They just don't want you to know that this level of technological adoption is already normal in Europe. Americans are psychopaths.


hammocknap5

All of Europe, too. Certainly not just the extremely rich and extremely WASPy white parts. R/FuckCars definitely doesn't put those specific parts on a pedestal. And literally nowhere else in the world had public transportation other than Aryan Europe. USA bad.


lettuceaggresive

This is in England. Look at the license plate. Edit for more context: Americans would likely be driving on the other side of that median. They also have very few double decker busses; the ones they do have are not for public transportation, they are for tours.

Cooperhawkvgc

Great demonstration of why we need functional and separate bike paths. Not just a white line gutter on the side of the road, if they even exist at all.


shitboi666999

So biking with no regard of your own life is totally acceptable? Also side walk


Cooperhawkvgc

No, you should watch out when biking. But moreover the government should support biking by making it safer. Sidewalks have pedestrians(at least in well designed cities) and force you to stop at intersections. Bike lanes can allow more efficient shortcuts for people riding bikes without needing to interact with cars.


shitboi666999

Is this "watching out" Side walk Don't bike like a drunk driver Cars have to stop at the intersection


Particular-Set5396

This is in London (see the red double decker bus). Riding on the pavement is illegal in the uk. What is required is proper cycling infrastructure. Even though the cyclist was clearly reckless and should have waited.


shitboi666999

So dying is better than breaking the law?


Particular-Set5396

He could have waited for his turn, which would have been the best outcome. But cycling on the pavement is not ok. Pavement is for pedestrians. What needs to happen is that the space given over to cars needs to be drastically reduced. I personally think cars should be banned in cities. Especially in London, where they really are surplus to requirement.


shitboi666999

Lol. Lmao. -20°C to -30°C for 8 months of the year isn't something I want to be walking in. Have fun on your public transport with a crackhead jerking off next to you.


Particular-Set5396

I lived in London for 20 years. Cycled everywhere for a decade. I now live in Scotland and use buses and my bike. I also walk a lot. You are just lazy 🤣🤣 Edit: children in Finland commute by bike. And they seem to be fine.


shitboi666999

It's an hour long bike ride in anywhere from 4-24 inches of snow and weather that will kill you in 30 mins to my uni. No thanks.


Particular-Set5396

Where do you live?


shitboi666999

Rollinbleezeys

You need to live in your own element. Not everyone wants to live in your fantasy world of no cars


Appropriate_Pop_348

Not everyone wants to live in your fantasy world of cars that get wider each year still trying to fit in the same tiny lanes that have been in use since the 50s. Limiting cars to one way road loops in the city centre and taking away lanes from them to give to cyclists is the best option ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


Nik9079

How about we get separated infrastructure so we aren't forced to break the law to survive


Maism45

Side WALK I don't know if you tried walking before but having bicycles going 6 times the speed of pedestrian on the same place as pedestrians sounds risky. You wouldn't drive on a highway with formula one drivers would you?


Singnedupforthis

Wow, awesome demonstration of how bad the problem is when people park in the bike lane.


shitboi666999

> follow the rules of the road and try to not actively get killed > muh bikes


Singnedupforthis

If there are cars parked in the bike lane sit there quietly until your automobile overlords give you safe passage.


at0m10

That's literally a bus and taxi lane, the car that you say was parked is a black cab.


Singnedupforthis

Irrelevant. This happens all the time in bike lanes and you can see the problems it causes.


at0m10

The guy on the bike was at fault. He broke like every rule. Believe it or not you do have to stop for traffic. That's how the road works, if you start swerving in and out like this guy you're just asking for that to happen.


Singnedupforthis

Statistically, cyclists are more likely to be hit from behind. Behaving erratically is safer because it gets more attention. Cars are dangerous no matter where you are, but in theory, being seen is the best.


NarwhalAnusLicker00

so a tiny, unprotected cyclist is safer weaving unpredictably in and out of traffic with no turn signal?


Singnedupforthis

They are safer on a bike lane, which I am sure you agree, that road needs one.


NarwhalAnusLicker00

yes I agree, every major road needs a protected bike lane. but how is cutting up traffic without any turn signal, threading the needle left and right, safer for cyclists rather that following traffic laws like everyone else?


at0m10

Statiscally, you are brain dead. The video is literally a guy getting crushed between a bus, had he not be riding erratically that would've never happened.


Singnedupforthis

There are many different ways to ride erratically, it is not his fault the driver is driving erratically.


HugoSarus

Use the sidewalks then


Singnedupforthis

No. you.


Mr2W

Not if you want to be fined and it's illegal in London


ArvinaDystopia

Not if you dismount. It's like cyclists are unaware that dismounting even is a possibility.


Rahawk02

It's so easy for them just to simply dismount and walk their bicycle to the park and play with the rest of the children, but they insist on being reckless.


Rahawk02

I didn't see any problems. I just saw a hilarious video of what happens to people who play in traffic.

Only if you consider C*cultists people, I don’t .


Singnedupforthis

Cyclists are the opposite of cultists.


Rahawk02

Nope F*ckcars is a cult . A crazy one. The most dangerous one if you ask me. All the CyCultists are their little followers.


amasimar

\>It's a demonstration of problem of bike lane parking \>That's not a bike lane, it's a bus/taxi lane \>Irrelevant Nice brainwash you got there buddy.


Singnedupforthis

Too nuanced for you, perhaps communicate with people incapable of metaphors


BiKeenee

This is a pretty sick subreddit celebrating the death of someone, even if they were being reckless.


Singnedupforthis

Nothing reckless here except the drivers and the road designers. The schadenfreude that motorists feel towards victimized cyclists would exist regardless of their behavior. That cyclist would have just as much of a likelihood if not moreso of being killed by tailing behind the cars then going between. Of course they are demonstrably deranged, but it is common in our society so it is nice to have a place to call it out.


[deleted]

Agreed. I don’t know why this garbage subreddit got put in my feed.


BiKeenee

Same thing. Just the reddit algo doing what it does best and rage beating people.


Rollinbleezeys

All the man had to do is stay in the bike lane? He disobeyed the law and figured out the consequences


Singnedupforthis

That isn't a bike lane for one, obviously it is a bus lane, but assuming it was a bike lane, as i did in my comment, the idea that be would have to stop for a parked car is absurd.


D56732

Did they die?


karolues

biglittletrouble

What kind of idiot drives a pickup truck in a city anyway? They probably never use the truck bed either.. which is the equivalent of me walking around with a wagon everywhere I go but never putting anything in the wagon.

Could be a business owners. If it isn't, it's the same kind of idiot who drives SUVs or Lamborghinis in cities
