New depths of ineptitude.

People who have a bike and know how to make it go, but somehow missed the basic rules of the road confuse me.  A couple of days ago I witnessed an absolute gem. There was this guy  peddling along on the wrong side of the street on the sidewalk. Which by itself isn't that strange, hardly anyone understands that bicycles are vehicles and therefore are not allowed on sidewalks.

The really strange thing is that this gentleman failed to use either of the two generously wide, well marked bike paths along this particular section of, residential, low speed, well maintained roadway. In fact he could have still been on the wrong side of the road and in the bike lane and I would have no qualms, because the bike lanes on this road are so generously wide that someone cycling in the correct direction could easily and safely pass him without even leaving the bike lane.

So what the fuck was this guy doing on the sidewalk? I suppose I should have stopped him and asked, if I really wanted to know.

Anyhow, rant over, I just had to write this one down.  Get a bike, just try to be cognizant when riding it.
