Rarely do I have an issue with shoaling cyclist unless; -they pass on the right -they do not have the speed to stay in front, effectively blocking those behind -or are ebike / food delivery drivers which pass then look at their phones while riding eradically in & out of the lane putting me at risk of passing. FWIW, I enjoy your videos. I get to see cycling in the core from a different perspective.
lol, well if damage if over a set amount (I don't know what it is now... $1,000-2,000?) then it has to be reported, although I don't know if that must be done at the scene. I think there's the general idea that if you can move it, clear it.
@@cycleyyz I saved a woman's life years ago on the top of the Hamilton mountain curve. She sat there discussing her financials while trucks were barreling towards her. Moved all cars off to the side and she immediately realized what the problem was.
Blackburn Local Basket - don't think it's made anymore, but you could probably make something similar with Wald, or putting a light basket on a "pizza rack."
As a driver i see tones of issues wrong here. Cyclists must dismount at an intersection and walk accross the street if there is no bike path. 2 cyclists riding on a bike path an there is an object in your path dismount walk around the object on the sidewalk the after you have cleared the object then remount the bike and continue to ride. "not just jet out into traffic." these are the rules that where taught to me by the local police when i was a child.
You're factually incorrect about a lot of this - at least as it pertains to where I am: Ontario. Maybe it's different where you are (which I hope isn't Toronto, since we don't need more drivers that aren't aware of the law. Yes, cyclists are to dismount when using a crossing - so within pedestrian painted lines. However, they are not to dismount at every intersection. Cyclists may take and use the full lane regardless of infrastructure. The only requirement is that they must ride as far to the right as practicable - which is not "possible" and allows for any cyclist to use as much as the lane is required for safety. If you're in Toronto. that police officer was full of it then and you're grossly misinformed. Go learn the laws.
Everyone who pays taxes pays to repave the roads. This includes cyclists. Motorists pay an additional tax because heavy cars and trucks account for most of the damage to our roads.
That is also not factually correct in Toronto/Ontario. Roads are paid for by property taxes, which everyone pays either through ownership or rent. I own my house. I also own and drive a car - just not for my downtown commute. If anything drivers are subsidized by everyone else and are the truly entitled ones.
@@iuebhnioechrsya.iueohtieug3054 Drivers don't really pay any additional tax towards upkeep. Gas taxes are minimal and our licensing fees were abolished. So it's actually worse than you indicate - everyone subsidizes drivers.
You said Jarvis incident, I was expecting something else.

Yeah, shoaling is more of a bummer than anything really problematic.
Gotta love people sitting in an intersection after a crash, like the RCMP is going to do an investigation.

What kind of front rack is this? I am looking for something similar.

@@cycleyyz Thx for your response. I think you are right, I does seem to be out of stock everywhere. I fancy the Manivelle Basket instead
Those darn "Senior Pathletes" ahaha Think they own the whole path and refuse to move to their side no matter what ahahaha

@@cycleyyz untill cyclists pay to repave roads they should stay off of them cyclists get a free ride on what drivers pay for. No pun intended
