ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

To be clear: I have no beef with cyclists who "share" sidewalks responsibly by slowing down, signalling and passing pedestrians in a courteous manner or if those options aren't possible by yielding the right of way. My beef is restricted to those cyclists who don't, i.e. who act like "two-wheeled terrorists."

The assholes who ride on sidewalks without regard for pedestrians aren't likely reading these forums, and no one is defending them. I mean, you can do police crackdowns on all sidewalk bike riding, but most of the people caught will have been normal, non-asshole people who were just trying to not die on the roads.

I think focusing on getting decent infrastructure in place for cycling that people feel safe using is the main productive thing to do with what we have right now.
