Bicyclists blows through stop sign and gets hit by SUV.

[ItsjustMe]

The audio on this camera is Impressive.

A man on a bicycle heading east down the hill on 36th Street blows through the stop sign. His back wheel is struck by a red SUV travelling south on Wetmore Avenue, causing him to lose control and crash. Warning: Language.

1. Nasty intersection

4. Especially when you go flying past.

That driver of the SUV was so nice to stop and ask if he wanted an ambulance. I know it was a duty to but some would y especially since it was the bike riders fault 100 percent.

2. Decades ago a university Teaching Assistant/Psychology said he did this to vent his "sociopathic"

tendencies.

3. Sorry, but byciclists

need to obey traffic rules too. Way too many of them think they own the road.

8. Too many cars also.

I see plenty of bad drivers on bicycles, I nearly hit one last year with my own bicycle.
Going the wrong way on the road.

But I see far MORE bad drivers in cars and trucks.

Don't forget a few months ago a guy blew through a red light and nearly hit me, causing me to fall over on to the pavement and break 7 ribs.

10. Yes. Both. As a frequent sidewalk and urban trail pedestrian, the aggressive cyclists

who believe THEY own both the road and adjacent sidewalks (ignoring requirements for audible signals and staying on their side, lowered speeds around pedestrians) is so damned disturbing. Always able bodied-men who I've witnessed coming up (ON THE SIDEWALK) to intimidate old people trying to maintain their cardiac rehab with (granted) slow walking. But, why, when there are two EMPTY and wide bike lanes are these cyclists ON the sidewalks?

My big mouth has me yelling to ask if they were "eight years old or what?" and utterances of the like that I'd be glad to pull those training wheels off if they could manage to find some "big boy pants" and ride in the bike lanes! But, damn they make me mad.

So, yes. As a not infrequent cyclist AND driver, but an increasingly frequent pedestrian and dog-walker, I can attest that aggressive selfish cyclists are an increasing problem.

5. Something tells me he's not vaccinated either.

Let's see: Stop signs are for sheeple.

He can ride anywhere, however and anytime he wants because......freedumb.

It's the SUV's drivers fault.

And it sounded like he threatened to "fuck her up".

It adds up for me.

6. Several years ago I saw a bicyclist blow through a red light

and get hit by a car. Lucky for him, the car was just beginning to enter the intersection, so not going very fast at all, not like the car in this video.

I do get tired of people on bikes thinking that rules of the road don't apply to them.

7. On the other side in my youth I was about 20 mile into a 30 mile bike ride pedalling down hill at a

high rate of speed when a sweet little old lady abruptly locked up her brakes then took a right hand turn directly in front of me. I struck the left rear of her car and went sailing over the trunk of her car. Amazingly I didn't break anything major. I broke two fingers and had some savage road rash and bruises. It was brutal. It screwed up my summer.

9. Here

in Chicago, we see thousands of bicycle accidents each year. Two solid objects can not occupy the same space, as much as it is tried.

11. Should I call an ambulance?

Probably!

[Nittersing]

13. Probably!

Probably shouldn't laugh... but that exchange...

12. There are entitled and/or oblivious idiots who drive both types of vehicles, but...

the bicyclists are just stupider, or they don’t understand physics. The car is gonna win the ‘fight’ almost every time.

My bad bicyclist story is me legally turning right on a red light from a side street on to a major street when a guy riding a bike on the wrong/left (riding against traffic) side of the major street hauling butt, doing maybe 20 mph, hit the intersection just as I pulled out. There was a fence on my right that came almost to the intersection that blocked my view of him approaching.

Luckily I was easing around the corner instead of punching it because there was no traffic coming from my left. The collision barely dented my bumper and he wasn’t seriously injured, thankfully, but it destroyed the rear of his bike.

14. I found myself cussing out a bicyclist (inside my car; he couldn't hear me)

who was riding in a busy street when right on the other side of the curb was a lovely paved bike path that the city had built with public funds just for him and his ilk. But no, he had to ride in the street, pedaling as fast as he could on his very expensive bicycle wearing his very expensive biking outfit - but he wasn't fast enough to keep up with the car traffic, which had to slow down and further gum up the rush hour just to accommodate this privileged show-off. Maybe he thought the bike path was for amateurs and therefore beneath him, but anyhow he just had to be in the street with the cars where he could show us all how fast he could go.

15. Injury porn! Yay!

16. As a cyclist

I have very little sympathy for Skippy blowing through the Stop sign like that. Yeah, I hate giving away all my momentum from a downhill grade or from my own exertions, but I'm not the only vehicle on the road. Even when I have the undisputed right-of-way, I know the laws of physics well enough to know that I'm going to lose a motor vehicle-bicycle confrontation. I've gotten very good at muttering, "I guess the Stop sign doesn't mean you."

17. A cyclist needs to ride much more defensively than an automobile driver

Blow through a stop sign? Reckless.

18. Well deserved

and lucky to be alive.
