Victoria Bicyclists: A Photo Essay
Victoria has bike lanes all over the place. It's a really bicyclist friendly city. So what do bicyclists do when given all of these bike lanes, bike turn only intersections and all of this? They ignore them. What's worse? Stupid bicyclists actively make it worse for the few responisble ones out there. No? Witness below my photo essay of Victoria bicyclists on a busy Saturday afternoon on the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 1) (see my Flickr slideshow here)
Start with two dumb bicyclists...
What happens when they encounter alot of pedestrians plus a bus?
After that, they encounter just two pedestrians:
How can a bicyclist deal with this problem? Wait? Move across the street to join the rest of the Northbound traffic? Get off his bike?
No way! He's going to bike down the oncoming lane along one of the busiest roads in the city on the busiest day of the week.
Where were these chuckleheads going? What was so important that they'd risk driving down oncoming traffic like Gene Hackman in the French Connection?
