Bad New York Bicyclists

Goodness knows there are plenty of bad drivers out there, but this video I picked up from Larry Ehl's Transportation Issues Daily blog shows some REALLY bad behavior by bicyclists in New York. Some of this stuff is crazy.

That's bad behavior from everyone. Bicyclists, pedestrians, car drivers, and truck drivers. Seems like they could really use some complete street infrastructure -- to better manage how people approach the intersection.

Yeah, you're right Brock, that's a big cluster in general with many people contributing. I'd say 'An accident waiting to happen,' but around here I hear a lot 'There are no accidents, but there are collisions.'
