Cyclists that ride on pedestrian ways are the wost. Vehicles belong in roads.
And roads don't belong in cities.
How else will cyclists ride in cities?
In public transport, like civilised people.
How does one ride a bicycle on a bus? That doesn't sound safe for everyone else
That's the neat thing: you don't. You leave your silly contraption at home, walk to the bus, and take a seat like a civilised human person.
(Or so I would like to say; the amount of times I've been on a bus and the driver has had to tell the second cyclist that they couldn't get in the bus because the first one was taking too much space is also way too damn high; as I said, cyclists have absolute disregard for public spaces and utilities, and anyone else using them.)
