As a bicyclist… I wish they’d arrest asshats who go the wrong way on one-way bike paths more often. I’ve had to veer into traffic to avoid them before.
@kescusay@AncientFutureNow I’m personally more annoyed about people (including on occasion the cops themselves) who drive and park right in the middle of the bike lane. Seems to mostly be a problem around Dave’s Hot Chicken, likely because they have curbside pickup even though the building is surrounded by bike lanes so there’s no real curb to speak of.
Either way, I’m not so sure that arresting people would be particularly helpful for either problem. There’s got to be another way, somehow.
Maybe just a warning and stopping them from being a public danger, then. That’s fine, as long as they’re not forcing people to veer into traffic to avoid them anymore.
