BSNYC Friday Heated Discussion About Lawn Bowling!

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that the City Council has asked the NYPD to explain why drivers who run down cyclists and pedestrians seldom face criminal charges.  I also mentioned the fact that New York City cyclists received something like three times as many Criminal Court summonses as truck drivers.  Subsequently, a reader left the following comment:

Great use of statistics there. A higher number of citations surely indicates discrimination, not surprising since we all know that NY cops are a bunch of bicycle hating, uneducated cretins from uncool parts of the city like Queens and the Bronx. We're just a bunch of victims (the model du jour: what better way to build cohesiveness in a group?).


Why not look at something more meaningful like rates of infractions and then see how we stack up? Compare the total number of citations issued to the actual number of violations per day or per vehicle mile. Are we still victims of an unfair city? I doubt it. I don't see a whole lot of trucks going the wrong way on a street or running lights. Bikes on the other hand.


February 17, 2012 3:59 AM


Clearly this reader doesn't live in my uncool part of New York City, where trucks, cars, motorcycles and buses run lights regularly and motor vehicles of all kinds salmon with impunity.  (Yes, I consider driving 30mph in reverse for an entire block to be "salmoning.")  As far as comparing "rates of infractions," this is ultimately meaningless, since the absurdity of subjecting a lawbreaking cyclist and a lawbreaking truck driver to exactly the same penalty is precisely the point.  When you get hit by a cyclist running a light you break a nail, but when you get hit by a truck running a light you wind up as part of the crosswalk.

Still, it's essential that we treat cyclists and drivers exactly the same way.  Why?  Because maintaining the illusion that drivers and cyclists are equal is the key to making sure that they stay unequal, and it ensures that anything that happens to you when you're on a bike remains your fault--or at least not the driver's fault.  As long as they keep telling you to act like a car, then that means it's OK when you get hit by a car, despite the enormous disparity between the machines and your utter lack of sheet metal.  What's the difference between a door ding and a dead cyclist in most of America?  Technically nothing--in fact, you're probably worse off if you give someone a door ding.  Sometimes, equality is the greatest iniquity.

Meanwhile, from England, I've received numerous emails concerning the Bristol bus driver who attacked a cyclist with his bus:


After watching the video, I'd ask the commenter above which vehicle he'd rather get hit by: a bus, or a Brompton?

Then again, I do hear Bromptons can be tricky to unfold:



Yes, I've posted that video before, but I enjoy few things more than watching people struggling with folding bikes.

And now, I present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you're right, and if you're wrong you'll see the fabled recumbent trike episode of "The Price is Right."

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and happy folding.

I think one good reason to subject a cyclist to the same laws as motorized traffic is that, ideally, cyclists will get the same rights and they'll be less confusion in traffic.

paolo said...

An ACTransit bus tried to run me over once. For some reason the driver was determined not to let me pass despite her frequent stops, and when it became inevitable the driver tried to run me down.
When I caught up with the driver at the light I asked her if she saw me and she affirmed that she had and told me I shouldn't be in the street (professional driver, public employee, completely ignorant of traffic law), and dared me to report her. I made an official complaint including bus number, route and time of day. Guess if anything became of it.

What's the standard community response when a cyclist pulls a motorist out of their car and beats them in the street? I'm asking for a friend, thanks.

Anonymous said...

excellent rebuttal snob. Drivers do not view cyclists as having equal rights to the road. How many times has a car sped past you only to dangerously right hook you, leaving you with the choice of slamming on your brakes or into their moving car? Without exaggerating this happens to me at least 4 or 5 times a day on my round trip daily commute, in a bike lane nonethelss. I haven't looked up the law but I'm pretty sure that this would be a moving violation, just as it would be to turn into pedestrians crossing the street with a walk sign. So here are some stats for douchebag anonymous commenter from yesterday: bike commuting days a year: ~200 x right hooks per day ~4 x years commuting 10 = 4,000 incidents. how many times have i witnessed these offending drivers being issued a summons by New Yorks finest for what certainly is a very dangerous moving violation? You guessed it zero.

@Anonymous 2:19:

I love the cyclist baiting title of that article. Higher than what? The implication is higher than cars, but that's debunked in the very first paragraph. "while small compared with the number of pedestrians injured by cars" I can only hope most folks read that far and find out that cyclists are *still* not a major threat to life and limb in NYC, unlike trucks and cars.

I love this quote, too:

"Motor vehicles are responsible for over 70,000 injuries every year in New York City, and hundreds of annual deaths,” Mr. Murphy said. “We can ignore that number and bash bikes, or we can get serious about safety and work to stop all traffic casualties.”

Billy said...

That video of the bus is terrifying. I know MBTA drivers aren't any better than their compatriots in other cities as far as knowing the law or being respectful, but I can at least hope none of them will deliberately try to kill me.

And Mr. Darnits needs to see a mental health professional about his sociopathy.

anon 2:28 & 2:30,

+1

In my Brooklyn to Manhattan to Brooklyn daily bicycle commute I see an average of 5 'blown' red lights a day by all types of motor vehicles, including 20+ ton city commuter buses.

Guess what drivers and traffic police: driving through a red light that just turned red a second before you got to it is STILL DRIVING THROUGH A RED LIGHT.

If anything, it's even more dangerous than the typical cyclist 'blowing' a red light by slowing or stopping completely, looking carefully, letting vehicles and pedestrians go first then proceeding, because they're doing none of that and are often speeding up to make the light. Not to mention that said vehicles are 2, 4 or 20 tons compared to a couple of hundred pound rider and bicycle.

So to all the other anons on here recently who seem to be from the secret 1PP propaganda unit, eat a bag of dicks.

...@ jasper...nope, not at all but personally, if i was a pro, i could think of a lot nicer warm spots for 'training' races...

...cycling has, to some extent, followed the example of formula 1 racing...go where the bucks are, whether there is any real spectator interest or not...

...bernie e, f1's boss will tell you that he's trying to 'create new interest in "the product" ' but he does so at the expense of deserting a traditional spectator base that's had plenty of interest for years...

...cycling is going the same route...we've seen the 'pro/world tour' expansion into north america & australia in recent years, which makes sense because these areas have had a strong sport cycling base for many years...

...but the uci's move into china with an upcoming 'world tour' status race is all about the future bucks & gaining control of a cycling (racing) market that hasn't yet happened...not that i don't understand the uci's concept but i think it waters down the product...

...back to 'oman & quatar'...in this case, oil money wants to draw tourists to their little sand lot 'cuz they've been investing so much cash in their infrastructure so what's a few million more each year to house n' feed a bunch a' pro bikeys...

...sure, the riders & teams feel like they're being treated like kings but the races suck & from what i can see, the scenery sux for the most part...& ultimately, i gotta think it doesn't draw more than a handful of cycling tourists to the area...

...to me, it's a shallow publicity stunt...

@bgw - can't disagree with anything you're saying there, especially around the venality of the UCI.

This commenter obviously doesn't live in one of the "uncool parts of the city." Frankly, drivers in Manhattan are actually pretty good. It's so crowded and so hard to tell if a cop's around that you can't really run red lights. Out here, all drivers - trucks and cars alike - run red lights at every opportunity.

Actually Oman is quite scenic, in a Lawrence of Arabia sort of fashion. Excellent pavement too, although the drivers put their trust in something other than skill and good judgement.

@McFly "GET OFF THE COUCH" thats great! I'll have to remember that one. I've been tormented by the four-leggers all my life. Got my first bite in the thigh by a German Shepard at about 13 years old while out on my ten speed. Never been bit since but raced quite a few. Fasted dog I ever saw was a pit bull surprisingly. He was damn fast off the line but petered out pretty quick.

For rural riders I highly recommend the spicy spray. buy a couple cans to practice with and then a quick squirt to the snout and they high tail it back to the house without a single yelp. I have found. I look at it as a service to other cyclists. The next time the dog I sprayed sees a cyclist he may decide just to stay on the porch.

3. The racket is for when you finally work up the courage to go "around the world" with your new yoyo. It will inevitably hit you in the nuts, you use the racket to block the fruit collision.

Good post, thanks for sharing. It is said that gucci belts and gucci suits are highly recommended for men, so I concern on gucci outlet.

You have to stack them like you are putting canned drinks in a crisper. If you just throw them in the gucci bag all willy nilly they will get entangled.

Break a nail?

Elderly lady, hip fracture -> end of active life -> confinement indoors -> nursing home -> might as well be dead.

Middle-aged male, skull fracture -> brain hemorrhage -> dead on arrival.

Young female, tear of anterior crucial ligament, tear of medial collateral lihament, tear of the meniscus -> surgery, rehab, pain, missed goals and opportunities.

Didn't take a truck.

Snob,

I particularly liked the title of Tuesday's post "The Mystery of Couscousness: To Err is Hummus; to Falafel, Divine". I looked up the origin of the saying and learnt that it was a renowned connoisseur of Middle Eastern cuisine named Pope Alexander who first wrote those words back in The Age of Enlightenment (the time before the internet and The Age of Cats 'n Porn). Intrigued, I went on to investigate the life and times, words and wisdom of this most bodacious philosophizer for upwards of a minute and a half, before finally being distracted by cats or porn, or something. Actually, I'm pretty sure it was porn. Anyway, I promptly forgot all I had read about Pope.

Or so I thought.

Later in the week while fretting my way through the standardized Fred test I eventually got to question 5 and surprised myself when I recognised another A. Pope quote: "These fools be rushing in where angels fear to tread".

Ahh, the Get a Brain Morans picture surfaces again! I am the original photographer on that one. I took that picture at an anti-Boeing protest here in St. Louis many years ago. This genius was among several counterprotesters. It has become an iconic photo. Poor guy.
