Re: “Here’s your guide to achieving peak user harmony on the Vancouver seawall,” June 4.
Maybe let inane, speeding cyclists crash and burn on slick patches of seawall, then post pictures of the aftermath(s) along the route as a warning to other speedsters?
How else will they learn?
Bike safety and adherence by cyclists to the rules of the road is laughable in Vancouver. The sense of entitlement is palpable from the slurs cyclists give you if, as a pedestrian (not a car!), you get in their way and, heaven forbid, say “watch out!”
Enforcement, sadly, is a (nonexistent) joke, too.
We do need traffic cops on the seawall. Yes, really. Or the rest of us will continue to be collateral damage in cyclists’ blithe thinking that they’re above the basic stop, go, and slow rules we’re all supposed to practise.
