One cyclist yelled me to get out of his way since he was going so fast.
Another time the cyclists just kept ringing their horn. No slowing down, no asking, nothing.
Sidewalk is for walking, it's not another goddamn bike path!
My biggest beef is how some cyclists seem to think they have yhe rights of both without having to follow the rules of either.
I almost never see any cyclist signal when turning. I also see them riding next to pedestrians when crossing. I mean, you really can't get off and walk it across?
I also have NO idea where you see people walk along the bike paths. Unless you're talking about jaywalking to cross and not walkinh along it, tell me the intersection and area, cause I've lived here over 20 years and have NEVER seen this.
I see it around Windermere, between the Humber and Roncy all the time. People DO walk on the bicycle paths quite a bit, but in my experience it's less than the amount of people riding on the boardwalk. Like I said, summer transforms the entire stretch into a lawless free for all, so I'm looking forward to the winter. Less people overall.
Regard other stuff, although I think we've been over bikes about a dozen times now in the thread; There is a sizable group of cyclist that feel entitled, and they like to bend the rules between being a vehicle and being a pedestrian. And then there's the dangerous ones that blow through red lights, zoom past open streetcar doors (while giving people coming off the streetcar dirty looks), and the ones riding on sidewalks.
It's a shame, because I do think the majority of cyclist follow the rules for the most part. But you'll always notice the douche with his earbuds in that clips someone coming off a streetcar, and proceeds to blow the red light with barely a glance. And you'll never notice the twenty other bicycles you saw that day that did everything right.
Enforcement is an issue as well. If by-law officers were as concerned with bicycles as they are parking enforcement and having coffee while reading the news paper 'surveying' off leash dog parks, maybe the elitist brand of cyclist would get the message.

Saw the words "Artifacts Room" and hoped for something Smithsonianesque. Prototypes and rarities and such.
Just games not out yet? Boring.
Maybe if they promised a few Vita demo units. Sony & Nintendo really need to setup permanent stores here to go along with Microsoft's Xbox place at Queen and Spadina.
