    To those telling Johnny to be careful, trust me - he is. It looks dangerous because of our roads, laws and enforcement - all designed to facilitate driving convenience and a lack of accountability.

The trouble with bike safety is the rider, who is frequently riding a stolen bike and blows stop signs, wears ear buds and rides on the sidewalk. OK? Civic duty is unknown in Ontario's capital city. Teens should supersoak the crotches of adults breaking traffic laws and run. Snowballs in the winter.

      @@JohnnyStrides yes it starts at 25 seconds. The right lane was closed therefore it cannot be a bike path. By road rules you are behind that car and the same way a motorcycle cannot glide through like that neither can you. If a right lane is closed and someone cuts right at the opening, he can't anticipate a biker squeezing by and you have to heed to him as you're behind. I'm not one to talk because I'm a maniacal biker but it almost cost me big time once when I did the same thing at 50km/h riding downhill on Lawrence

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  3 роки тому

      At 25 seconds in he is obligated to check his blind spot and signal before changing lanes and did neither. You can't justify it by saying he can't anticipate a cyclist. If you do that on a driving test you instantly fail. Cyclists (and motorbikes) frequently ride in partially closed lanes which makes him all the more obligated to check his blindspot. That's terrible driving no matter how you slice it.

    When you ride a bike on city streets, one needs eyes in the back of their heads. At times it's like a war zone. One thing I have learned is to just let things go. It's not worth getting bent out of shape. Down here, if you scream/swear/flip off an a-hole driver you stand a good chance of a bad confrontation where you might end up being shot. There are many times when I'm out riding, or even driving, I wish for a portable transporting device like in Star Trek. By the time I'm done with all those dangerous air heads there would be a huge traffic jam in Antarctica. It seams that even bike lanes and multi use paths can be more dangerous at times than street riding. Just be safe out there Johnny. Have you ever thought about slowing down a bit? Just saying. Mahalo!

    • @martinkent333

      You seem to misunderstand riding downtown. Drivers who come off the highway cannot estimate cyclists' speeds correctly. Thee drivers suffer from the inner ear's confusion, called Velocitization. So they cut you off. Also, wearing dark clothes is a stupid idea downtown. Sunglasses and earbuds too. I have been cut off by so many pickup truck drivers in Downtown Vancouver, that I give them a wide berth, dude. Do not under estimate the hallucinating drivers who have come off of the highways. You can't tell the freaks from the normal drivers, so never underestimate the drivers' poor ability to gauge relative speeds. OK?

      @@martinkent333 gauging speed coming off a highway, is true enough. I've caught myself driving above the speed limit going from highway speeds down to city street speeds, or the burbs in my case. As far as my cycling is concerned, I'm miles from a highway, so by the time any driver who has exited a highway, should have adjusted his speed long before reaching where I am, and I'm also miles from a city. Also, as far as riding a bike, or even a scooter in a downtown city area, as Johnny does now, I will not use either. I can't tell you how many times I've flinched watching Johnny weave his way through traffic in downtown Toronto riding his bike or scooter. For me, it isn't worth risking my life.

      I ride defensively and find slower riders cause far more trouble than those that are capable of moving at a brisk pace and reacting accordingly. Also, I meet your definition of an older rider :P

    I cringed watching the way you ride, you hv bad riding skills..
    Bikes are just not meant for city streets, so u need to ride w better anticipation..
    Alot of what you complain about, I could easily anticipate them. The diff is that I am used to really bad traffic, you are not. I expect cars to cut me off, not used signals n to be in their blind spots, you just dont anticipate any of those. Only cab drivers, ambulance n bike messengers hv those skills in the West.
    Toronto traffic to me is very well organised, w good predictable drivers. So many ppl who used to that n are just complacent. If you dont chg your attitude, u will get into an accident one of this day.

      You expect everyone to be good drivers, follow the rules n street smart. Most do, but there are that 10-20% who dont. Good cyclist always expect the worst, tries to improve their skills n adapt to traffic.

      @@RedHanded1969 Its your opinion on his riding and questioning if he is a good cyclist or not but regardless cyclists shouldn't have to tolerate bad drivers to begin with. Cyclists shouldn't feel scared to ride their bikes alongside cars when people cycle for many reasons Whether its a hobby, to lose weight, or financial reasons. Drivers should take into consideration that cyclists are very vulnerable and could get seriously injured in a crash. The way I see it, its cars that aren't meant for city streets for pollution, grid locks, and especially for high cost of maintenance. There are even plans to make parts of downtown car free and the addition of more bike lanes so i do think your statement is becoming false.

      Totally agree that the streets have to be redesigned for proper bike lanes to function but over here (Toronto) its a start and like I said, there are projects currently in talks to ban cars in certain parts of Downtown. Europe also started this too. Bicycles should be treated as a vehicle and have the same responsibilities and rights as a motor vehicle.
      "His riding style is dangerous bcos he assumed he has the right of way, that is incontradiction to the other drivers mentality"
      Dont know why youre saying his riding style is dangerous because......
      This cyclist has been staying close to the right right of the road as much as possible
      kept enough distance between him and the swaying of doors
      0:27 Prius did not acknowledge that a cyclist was behind him and didn't even signal to the right (must signal when changing lanes)
      1:02 The cyclist had a right of way but Civic give him that and tried going anyway (if he was in a car i garuntee would have been a different outcome
      1:30, 3:03, 3:13, 3:24, 5:32,6:06, 7:46 8:25"wow im just catching every red light", 9:13, 9:30, 10:50, 11:30stopped at every single red light
      2:28 Honda Pilot shouldve waitied until both cyclists crossed the road safely (cyclist had right of way)
      2:41 dunno wahy the honda odyssey honked, bikes had right of way also was on a bike lane (illegal)
      2:46 people on bike lanes is like being on the middle of a busy road (using his bell required for biking)
      4:14 perfect example that people dont give cyclists any slack. The man waits for the car but not bike (bicycle is considered a vehcile and has the same rights as motor vehicles)
      4:50 Taxi in Bike lane (illegal)
      6:38 dangerous driving didnt even indicate to the left too
      7:18 cyclist had right of way Audi A4 didnt wait for him
      10:05 being aware of his surroundings
