Dude, I see ALL THE TIME Uber, Lyft, Doordash drivers that just stop in the middle of the street to pickup, dropoff, deliver whatever and seem to think that is the way to go- even when there is clear parking available at the curb... Yay San Diego! I know it isn't the city but rather clueless drivers.
Drivers: it's totally safe for bicyclists they don't need a separated bike lane The same drivers: park across the street!!! are you kidding me that is incredible dangerous
Roads are designed on cognitive dissonance. A person on a bike should have no problem riding a few blocks out of the way, but drivers need to park right in front of their destination. It was a huge deal when they removed a parking lot from the plaza; now they need to remove that entire road for cars that cuts through the park.
@@RidingBikesinSanDiego when I was in SD earlier this year it absolutely amazed me that they hads to ensure you could drive through the park. it is LITERALLY called a park... park the damn car get out and walk, be in nature!
@johnsampson2544 I'll concede that some folks need to drive, and we need deliveries and things like that. And there are serious conversation that need to be had about accessibility, and people who have mobility issues need access to public spaces. At the same time, I think that not every space needs to cater to people who are far away. I'm from Long Island, and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been in Central Park. It's lovely. It's also a place I didn't bother using to the train to get to, and never drove to because I wouldn't have been able to park there. It was challenging for me to get there, and that's okay. It's a place that's used by the people who live near it. It doesn't need to accommodate me coming in from 20 miles away. It would be healthy for us to consider that not every space needs to be built to hold those commuting from longer distances.
@@RidingBikesinSanDiegoI have family members with mobility issues. Believe me when I say those parking lots are not for the disabled. Properly designed public transit, and well designed protected bike lanes accommodate motorized wheelchairs much better than car dependent infrastructure and free storage for personal vehicles. The bus lane would have helped multitudes more disabled people make it to the park than that stupid parking lot.
Those lights are called: "I'll park where I effin' want lights."
8:09 I live right on that corner (Park and Brooks).

Ya shoulda gone into Lancers for a pit stop.
I hardly ever stop off when I'm riding, but it's not a bad idea. I just wish they had a bike rack.

@@ablackney If so many drivers weren't lazy fat-@$$es they would be on bikes too.

They should be able to use the bus lane for making right turns(like in New York), not the bike lane so they don't hit or dangerously pass cyclists.
