On yer bike

By E-fail - 07/10/2020 08:53 - Canada - Bathurst

Today, I received my new e-bike. I could barely afford it but I desperately needed a method of transportation. On my second ride, I splashed through a fresh sidewalk. There was sidewalk in the chain, in the brakes, everywhere. There goes my brand new bike. FML

Why would you ride through wet cement with your bike in the first place? This sounds like you making a poor decision and dealing with the consequences.

Bikes are vehicles. They go on the road. You deserve it.

Nope don’t even say that bikes aren’t vehicles

I'm afraid you are incorrect.

In Toronto it is illegal to ride any bike on on the sideWALK with wheels that have a diameter larger then 24 inches. Nevermind your motorcycle (if it has a motor it’s a motor cycle) Only children and cowards ride on the sideWALK. Why should I be afraid to walk with my toddler on the sideWALK because you’re too afraid to ride your bike where you should?

If it was still that wet, surely it would have been fenced off?

a) shouldn't have been using pedestrian walkways b) don't be stupid enough to ride through wet cement c) fyl for lacking braincells

If the sidewalk wasn’t properly marked off enough that you could just ride into it. The city is at fault. Also definitely was fixable if you got to it fast enough.
