actually, on bicycle boulevards people are allowed to bike in the center of the street. (actually, cyclists can legally do that on any road because they follow all traffic laws, and that could help). Also, I think that bicycle boulevards are wider than most roads.

motorists still don't notice the signs. It is ridiculously dangerous here, but I love bicycle boulevards

ya but the're still riding between moving cars and parked carshows that working for ya?

In many countries, kids learn to signal, stop at stop lights, and common bicycling etiquette by watching other bicyclists do it.Now in America, bicycling has been replaced by cars. Kids grow up, not learning how to signal, stop at stop signs/lights, and common etiquette when bicycling.I know, yielding at stop signs is easier than stopping.Except, it just promotes a bad image that bicyclists do not follow the rules. It is just 5 seconds to stop, you can trackstand if you want to.

well actually the the cops do give cyclists tickets for not stopping at stop signs i just got one today about 1 hour ago

berkeley kicks an incredibly amount of ass...hardcore

I noticed the bikes on the purple signs, but never really thought why they were on them. Time to take advantage of these streets!

shit mans thats pretty heavy

Nice... I recently moved to Berkeley. I lived in Philadelphia for a while and had some difficult times riding... I was hit by a car once when I was in a lane (the car made an illegal left turn). I feel very safe riding in Berkeley.

btw, there are cars there!!

Oh, okay. This was in SF, BTW.

Most of the time true, but there are a growing number of cities allowing cyclists to treat a stop as a yield when no other vehicles are stopped at the intersection.

Just to let you guys know, that bikes legally HAVE TO stop at a stop sign. I saw a cop gave a bicyclist a ticket. I suggest you stop to avoid a ticket. I'm pretty sure nobody likes paying $200+ for a traffic ticket.

Oh, OK! Lol, I thought you were serious! I reported his to YouTube and hopefully his account will be suspended.

oslo is a Nazi. I oppose Nazis. I was just having fun

Power to the Pedal!

Yes, but drivers still drive their cars and trucks on them. Occasionally a driver will honk her or his horn (a long honk) at me on one of these bike boulevards. Drivers and their horns...the communication of the inbred.

i love berkeley

Hey berkeleyhome, I'm sorry to hear of your crash. I should hope you would then support better traffic engineering on College Avenue, i.e. lighted crosswalks, speed humps, pedestrian crossing signals and traffic lights, bike 'sharrows' (shared lane markings), so that others might not suffer the same slings and arrows. For you to say that 'bikes don't belong on that street' is an unintelligent resignation to, or championing of, car traffic on College Avenue as the dominant transit mode.

BayBoy...you are nothing less than a dickhead, worthy only of becoming a statistic..what are you..19?....when you grow up and learn about the world, come back and say something intelligent.
