@@Nick-mu9nx yeah I’m aware of Guildford being used for other cities and neighbourhoods, and no misleading is intended! The exact location is early in the description but don’t want to clutter up the title and screen with too much detail.. maybe just adding Way for “Guildford Way” will help so will probably do that. The pickup trucks are often just a status symbol and are far too common, rarely if ever carrying anything in the bed. There are many examples of smaller trucks having beds that are the same size or bigger.

@@calicomorgan2408 too many drivers who aren’t looking for (and/or don’t care about) anything that’s not another car and it’s maddening. The horn is good but I haven’t yet figured out a way to set it up so it can be triggered without taking a hand off the handlebars, and the times I most want to use the horn are the times I most want both hands on the handlebars..

@@kylee3739 😂 a late addition to the nonsense pile

you're not allowed to just right turn into traffic. the bike has the right of way here

@@38KSW My eyes are always closed while riding so thanks for watching the video with your eyes open and letting me know!

@@38KSW Surely you watched the minute before 6:08 which shows why I wasn’t riding in the bike lane. Regardless, people riding bicycles aren’t required to ride in bike lanes.

@@38KSW You didn’t include timestamps for when I didn’t stop at stop signs and red lights because it didn’t happen. The Idaho stop will be legal in Canada eventually so start mentally preparing now and have a great day!

@@38KSW 😂 Thanks for watching!

Where the cyclist ignoring the rules in the video

Several lights for sure, but hard to be more cautious than usual when drivers are approaching from behind at 80+ km/h

@@johndumfries yeah, less hassle for sure. I’ll still sometimes ride in the bike lane as a futile protest against the city for counting this as protected bike infrastructure when it’s usually full of pedestrians.

A perfectly good side what? Commuting via bicycle can be fun but if you think an adult riding a bicycle to work should ride the same way a 6-year-old would ride, well then the dumbass is in your mirror.

Glad you’re ok. I’ve had this scenario many times and each time I find it’s either out of sight out of mind, or the driver underestimating the speed of people riding bicycles. It can be understandable (but still wrong) when the driver has been at a red light as the cyclist approaches or otherwise ahead of the cyclist for some time, but it’s hard to fathom when the driver has *just* passed the cyclist.

@@maturtlelaza I’m looking for a safe ride to my destination, and my reactions are on behalf of people of all ages and abilities who should be able to ride their bicycles safely and without stress.

are you unfamiliar with biking shorts

@@Ronald_Raygun_Pewpew in spandex is irrelevant, but in bike lane is relevant

You are talking about the car right?

Not if you live in the netherlands🙃

Yeah this is a pretty good bike lane for the width and the smooth surface! Just need to prevent drivers from parking in it or pulling over to use their phone because they don’t know it’s a bike lane. They won’t see the bike symbols on the ground but they will see the “paved shoulder” sign. Hope you get improved bike lanes in Spain!

It is clearly labeled for cyclists as a bike lane, but drivers don’t see those bike symbols on the ground. So they pull over to use their phone because it’s just a “paved shoulder” and they believe it’s okay because they’re not driving on the paved shoulder because they’re parked.

@@metrovancouvercyclist It may be different elsewhere, but it extremely rare here (Maryland) that someone pulls over onto the shoulder when their vehicle is still operable. If their vehicle is disabled then they should be on the paved shoulder and cyclist should have to deal with that fact. Who pulls onto the shoulder to use a phone? Especially in the days of carplay and androidauto.

Just shows how painted bike lanes are car infrastructure: not bike infrastructure. Apparently you road can get extra funding if you check the "bike lane" checkbox.

Legally it is a bike lane but only people cycling would know that because drivers aren’t going to see the bike symbols on the ground but they will see the “paved shoulder” sign. So they think it’s okay to pull over to use their phone because then they’re not driving on the paved shoulder because they’re parked.

@@metrovancouvercyclist I'm a cyclist and agree with the ease of misuse, but frankly they do that even with clearly marked and separated with a gap bike lanes. My point is the video says it isn't labeled as a bike lane and it technically is.

You’re wrong.

didn't do anything wrong though and besides "When our light turns green and the crossing signal appears, the light for the cross traffic has been red for a few seconds. There’s a right-turning driver approaching from the right. Watch where that driver is when our light turns green and check out where they stop."

Cyclists get called entitled for not obeying the rules that were made for drivers, and now cyclists are also getting called dumb and ignorant for expecting drivers to obey the rules that were made for drivers. That’s cool. Have a great day!

​@@metrovancouvercyclist wait till your dead then blame the driver! oh wait, you can't cause you're dead. your family will enjoy the settlement money without you. everything im saying is in regards to YOUR safety, not mine. if you choose to not obey driving rules, what is a good reason for it (hint there is none)? guess what as a cyclist, to ensure your own safety, you have more responsibilities than drivers. you just restated the points i made with an ignorant undertone

@@DurealzForReal any driver on the road should follow those rules because any crash can deem fatal given the right circumstances though, it is true that cyclist are at a higher risk but that higher risk can also be minimized by the behaviour of other drivers. To act as if you're invisible is a good moto but that doesn't excuse other drivers because even if you live by that moto there are times where only the other driver can avoid a crash.

@@Noone-ii4kv never said no one shouldn't follow them. people DON'T follow them in all scenarios, leaving bikers high risk regardless. posting about something like this is meaningless because it happens on an everyday basis. if you want to complain maybe don't bike in sidewalks, idc about the laws, its for the safety of everyone, even though I myself follow them.

Delayed reply to this comment because I didn’t get notified for some reason, but yes, agreed! Sometimes I ride closer to them than I should so maybe they’ll realize. It gets treated often like a shared path and months ago someone swore at me so I stopped. We had a lengthy discussion and they were 100% sure it was a shared path. I pointed out how the sidewalk and the bike lanes have different surfaces with the bike lane being much smoother, and the yellow line down the middle of the two-direction bike lane. Shared paths don’t have yellow lines. Also pointed out the bike symbols on the ground and the bike lane signs on the side. They were still 100% sure it’s a shared path.

It seemed safe, but the driver was supposed to yield to cyclists in the bike lane to give cyclists priority at the front when the light turned green

The PoCo Trail is pretty great. Regrettably I don’t do a lot of riding other than commuting to work.. one place I want to check out is the Seymour Valley Trailway

Yeah there are some great bike lanes in this area, but also too many of these stressful debris-filled painted lanes.

I’ve heard that the city will be removing them from this intersection, and a neighbouring city is removing the slip lanes at a similar intersection. The sooner the better, here and everywhere!

It’s disappointing. The physical protection was much needed, but for how wide Guildford is (including the median and the space on the outside of both sidewalks) and for how much time was spent assessing options, I feel it could’ve/should’ve been better. It’s too narrow for riders to pass each other and for riding sidebyside with a partner, things that aren’t an issue with Port Moody’s new infra on St Johns. Also at several bus stops there are newly created cyclist/pedestrian conflict points that didn’t exist before. A good thing is right-turning drivers can no longer block the bike lane as they used to illegally cross the solid line long before it became broken, which still happens at the non-separated, especially westbound approaching Johnson. Do you ride there often? What do you think?

@@metrovancouvercyclist I do go back and forth on it! My understanding is that Coquitlam did it as cheaply as possible which meant not moving curbs (which is $$$$). They know that it needs to be wider, I think everyone knows. I think that widening it is on the road map but it could be a while, again because of the very high expense of new concrete curbs. It is Coquitlam's' first separated on street lane that I know of and that is great, I don't want us to go back to MUPS full of dog walkers/ painted lines on the side of busy streets. But agreed that we do need to move forward from here.

@@rezilla1 yeah my negative comments stem from my high hopes, and I/we should definitely be happy with the upgrade to protected lanes. MUPs are lose/lose for all path users and anything that moves cities toward cycling-specific protected infra is good.

Port Moody did a great job. I’m not a fan of MUPs because they’re kinda lose/lose for cyclists and pedestrians, but this path is pretty wide and there are sections of separated sidewalks and bike lanes. Though I suspect those will still be treated as MUPs similar to the Murray bike lanes near Rocky Point. The main problem will likely be the drivers turning right onto St Johns who understandably creep forward to turn. No right on red would help at the lights, but at the stop signs not much can be done. Overall though it’s pretty great and I’ll likely use it often instead of Clarke.

Sure, and please credit Metro Vancouver Cyclist

@@metrovancouvercyclist thanks

@@metrovancouvercyclist for sure and thank you mate

Less dumb and less dangerous than drivers who can’t obey rules of the road

ESPECIALLY when I’m in an obvious bike lane and approaching the driver’s side window 😂 Thanks for watching!

@@metrovancouvercyclist So I was right. Like most “cyclists” you put your ego over your safety.
