Bikers stand up

[dhbearguy]

Walking down my street I came across 3 news vans, and a bunch of people at the intersection of Market and Octavia.

The bicyclists were holding signs that said "Right turns are illegal", as well as some proposed street painting proposals.

Since they built the Octavia off ramp from 101, many motorists ignore the "No right turn" signs. A few bikers have actually been hit because of careless motorists turning right at that intersection. I see motorists turn right there all of the time.

I personally don't know the difference between turning right there, and turning right 1 block down on Valencia. They both carry the same risks to bikers. Maybe a "bikes" traffic signal would help, but I doubt it.

It amazes me that the bicyclists have so much power on the streets. I heard that they were the ones responsible for making sure that right turns there were illegal.

I honestly have zero respect for the bicyclist zionists in SF

Yes, they were, it was the irritating-the-fucking-life-out-of-us-all San Francisco Bicycle Coalition who represent literally thousands of San Franciscans, or, approximately 1% of the population of SF. They have so much political power, because which politician doesn't want to appear green (apart from Willie, who didn't give a shit), that on Bike to Work day you get to see City Supes wobbling to City Hall in a pathetic show of "solidarity".
