Hey Vancouver Cyclists... Just Chill the Heck Out!

I have been meaning to make a post like this for the last few years now but someone else has made a similar post and to be honest, I don't think I could have written a better one. 

Grant Lawrence, of Vancouver Is Awesome commmunity online publication, has written about his experiences with Vancouver cyclists and how some are ruining it for everyone else.

Several recent incidents along the bike route have flattened my enthusiasm for commuter cycling.

One was a helmet-less hipster on a leftover fixie (remember them?) who was racing westward down Adanac full speed between Commercial and Clark. An elderly woman was crossing Adanac.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU F******’ RETARD!”

This is exactly what a young man on a bike yelled at a senior citizen trying to cross the street in Vancouver. The cyclist didn’t slow down. The pedestrian was startled and froze in her tracks. 

We have come a long way as cyclists in a major North American city and we all need to be grateful of what we now have access to.  To those that are ruining it for everyone else,  Just Chill the Heck Out!!
