Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

Yes he was doing just that. Switching paths to avoid a red light.
I pretty much just don't believe you.
Even if this is true, and a big heavy guy on a racing bike was riding on the side walk and collided with your child, that sounds like an awful and dangerous situation but it doesn't really change things?
Cars have accidents all the time, bikes have accidents too, sometimes bikes and cars have accidents, some times cars and people have accidents, and sometimes bikes and people have accidents.
In a given incident one or more participants may have been reckless or acted unlawfully, but that doesn't mean that their mode of transport is inherently dangerous.
I never said riding bicycles is inherently dangerous to pedestrians. I just say they are, if they switch to the pavement in full speed.
I think you are unnecessarily offensive and I really dont get, why I have to defend common sense by stating that I am not fine with people taking traffic rules into theyre own hands and endangering others.
Guess i missed the part stating that this comment section is reckless drivers circle jerk...
