There are a bunch of dicks out there on 2 wheels and I’m one of them, I’m afraid. We may never evolve.

I used to find another way onto Valencia because I found it difficult sometimes to cut across the muni tracks while trying to fit into traffic. It’s still not quite a carefree intersection though. Now I have to be careful not to get t-boned by cyclists going straight through the light. I usually just err on the side of caution and assume approaching riders are going to run the light to go straight through until it’s obvious they’re stopping.

As one,and maybe one in the minority that does stop at stop signs/lights. Always gives way to Pedestrians and am very vocal about this issue. I take issue not with your hate but with the direction that you aim it. “hipster douches on bikes” Lets be honest if we are going to have this discussion. I see many more everyday commuters blow stop signs then any “Hipster douces on bikes” ,most of them have moved to Oakland BTW.

At least cars follow rules of the road far more than bike cretins. You can see them coming, versus some bastard coming silently out of nowhere in the middle of the night.

I’ve been missed by mere inches about 5 times in the last 2 weeks by hipster douches on bikes.
I fucking hate them all. I really really do. I’m far from alone in feeling this.

When you are on your bike, know you are thoroughly loathed by many many people.

This intersection is part of my daily commute. Though Valencia can be pretty such during rush hour (where did all these cars park/drive before there was a bike lane?!?!) the intersection to head onto Valencia from Market can be very difficult to navigate.

I thought I’d love this little turn pocket, but two issues for why I think its not as successful as it could be:

1) the timing for the cyclist green light doesnt turn green til well after the green arrow is given to make the left onto Valencia. So it’s faster to try and navigate traffic as before the pocket installation or people just run the cyclist red signal. Either way, not great. **Please fix the timing for the cyclist signal to match the green arrow!!!**

2) motorists aren’t really getting the “keep clear” need and keep stooping right in the middle of the pathway cyclists are suppose to take from the turnout onto Valencia. Some more paint could maybe help? Flashy lights maybe? Something to make it easier for motorists to see that the area does need to be open would be great.

Context!
