Pedestrians and cyclists have gotten confused in recent times. Yes, they have the right of way, but that does not mean they get to operate without any personal responsibility for their own and others safety. Too many totally indignant individuals out there :/

Actually I don’t believe cyclists have the right of way, they are required to follow the rules of the road just like those operating motor vehicles.

I wonder if it was the young fireman that hauls ass around town in the ladder truck and uses the jake brake at every stop. That kid needs some lessons in driving a heavy vehicle in the city limits.

Perhaps the cyclist needed some more education on how to stop at stop signs.

Emergency services aren’t in a hurry?

Certainly not in some schools.
