I know there is a different kind of vibe, and more of a pedestrian than car issue on campus, but the Wildcat seems to be doing a pretty good job at writing “cyclists are annoying and at fault” articles this year. Their article at the beginning of the semester about keeping safe on a bike was essentially telling everyone that bikes are always at fault. This one is kind of just condescending… Like they’ve only been observing campus cyclists who do things like ride on their cellphones.
Agreed. The /Wildcat/ article implies that riding two-abreast is wrong; and if I were the editor I’d have cut the instructions on how move your arms to signal your turns, and added a sentence saying don’t ride against traffic.
