Cyclists in downtown Toronto are completely out of control. They obey no traffic signals or rules of the road yet expect full road privileges. The rules do not apply to them, yet they expect to be treated as equal road users.
On the weekend I saw a father pushing a baby carriage at a crosswalk. He pressed the crosswalk light and cars in both directions stopped for him. His view was obstructed by a parked truck. He entered the crosswalk and an adult male cyclist came within inches of crashing into the carriage. Typical Toronto cyclist was unfazed. He didn't even slow down. I would have loved to have punched him in the face. A day later I'm walking on the sidewalk and another cyclist brushes past me touching my arm with his handle bar. It was a graze and did not hurt but the cyclist kept on going without slowing down.
Anyone that lives in the Toronto core knows that these cyclists are ticking time bombs of rage. They respect no one, ride with visible anger and disrespect. They obey no rules and ride wherever they please without regard for pedestrian or vehicle.
The cops should crackdown on these two wheeled terror missiles. Someone will have to reign them in before pedestrians go vigilante on this subclass of simmering hate.
