Where is this sidewalk where the Wild West Scenario is taking place?
I simply asked a question to clarify the situation. I didn't assume anything. Did I ever say the cyclist was a fault? If so, please post exactly where I wrote that and I will apologize. I certainly didn't mean to establish blame.
Secondly, you say I have "personal issues" against riding bikes on the sidwalk that "affect my judgment". Well, yes.... What better way to form a opinion than by personal experience? I wanted to be up front that I do have a bias against riding bikes on the sidwalks and exactly why I feel this way. This is irrelevant?
And my reason for forming a person opinion about riding a bike the sidewalk is irrelevant to a thread that concerns a bike rider being hit and ticketed while riding on the sidewalk? I'm missing something...
Now, you take my honesty and imply that I'm lying. I don't appreciate that. You refer to my experience with sidewalk bike riders as "alleged". This implies to me you think I'm lying. If you weren't there (or were you?) what basis do you have to accuse me of lying?
These "Wild West" senarios have taken place, repeatedly, in Corona, CA, and S. El Monte, CA.
It's pretty obvious we will have to agree to disagree on this subject, I-Like-To-Bike. I won't waste any more server space or blood pressure on this thread.
