I’ll never understand how people believe bike and pedestrian “infractions” to be the same as that of motor vehicles.

Members of this “get off my sidewalk!” group often fail to realize this: Did you study to become a pedestrian? Did you go to a bicycle driving school to acquire a permit to operate one? Was an exam at all given in order to use public foot or bike paths?

If the answer is no, then you aren’t held to the same standards as cars, which are heavily regulated and require licenses to operate.

Obeying road signs for bicycle and pedestrians are suggestions, rarely enforced, and the worst case scenario is usually you hurt yourself. Your ability to hurt others has an upper bound that society deems acceptable.
