Bicycle etiquette?
I was standing in line to use an ATM at the BofA on Stones Way drive near 35th in Fremont a couple of weeks ago when a bicycle messenger drove up. Before he had a chance to get off his bike, another bicyclist came up behind him and asked if he could speak to him about something.
He said that he had just witnessed him blowing through a red light AND a stop sign moments before and said it pissed him off to see cyclist ignoring traffic laws. He said that was the reason so many drivers had bad feelings towards bicyclists.
I stood there literally with my mouth hanging open and would have shaken the second bicyclist's hand if he'd waited around long enough but after he received a mumbled "sorry" from the first cyclist, he drove off.
Needless to say, when the first bicyclist left, he proceeded to run the stop sign at the corner.......guess he had a short attention span.
