***** Uhhh, I was just making a joke, but alright.

***** What's an illegitimate racist?

Marlon Mendez hellz yeah i like that cop his give a fuck aint broke like most

Fully agreed

He is. agreed!

What an awesome cop.

Yeah he was amazing

If this would have been new York the cop would have strangled the bike driver for some reason.

Actually there to protect and serve. Great to see this.

All Star Fame now this is a cop that cares about traffic safety and not revenue and hopefully he’ll target more of aggressive/impatient drivers like the crv driver. He was probably going well over the speed limit like 15 mph or more over the speed limit.

When he shoots a black person

@@itsjake0189 White guilt much?

Fuck ya.

Mrs. Vallejo holy shit a car driver with common sense you are a rarity bravo for having the common sense to stay back from cyclists and to give them room i hope you get stuck behind me when im riding my bike

What happened in the video? Im really confused, I did't catch it.

i think so too, the first thing that comes into my mind is, that someone on a bike can easily fall over. how fast can you stop your car before driving over him. distance saves lives. EDIT: Ellie Petrova "Reading the description." not a youtube thing apparently.

Thank you, Sam! Btw no one reads the description unless they're looking for the lyrics of the song or there isn't "check the description" annotation

Some do, if they are confused about the video at least ;) but i agree, on youtube it is not a thing to read the description until someone tells you to.

Hell, it wasn't even a 35 MPH zone, it was a 30 and later went down to a 25

I don't care how fast he rides, If he's going to ride in the road like that, I want him to pay his license, registration fees and be insured like everyone else on the road.

Your comment does not address the tailgater in this video unless your logic is that the tailgater would not have tailgated if the bicyclist was registered and insured while doing the speed limit.

100lessthanu That's the dumbest shit I've read all day.

100lessthanu you want him to take his non-motor transportation to the dvm and register it as a motor vehicle? does he need car insurance? should he get flood insurance too just in case he might piss himself for almost getting run over.

How often are you really "stuck" behind a bicycle for more than a few seconds though? In my experience, that's extremely rare.

How often do you see a bike that can reach 30 mph? Pretty rare. Might as well stay behind it from a distance if he's going the limit...

It's not as rare as you think. In any case, there's this amazing invention called changing lanes to pass. You'd do it for a bus. You can do it for a bicycle as soon as you grow up and get over the delusion that you shouldn't have to.

You can do something called merge into the other lane.

Yeah small minded morons feel pretty powerful inside their machines

Xstr3ngthz the joke went over your head

Km/h im guessing

no 30 mph is pretty legit on a nice road bike with a fit rider

Razor Sharp 30 mph isnt difficult to get too...holding 30 mph for like a quarter mile with a vehicle forcing you to keep that pace is really difficult

Raymond Chavez whats 30mp/h in km/h lol I dunno

+Razor Sharp like 50km/hr roughly

They're all butt-hurt that a car actually lost to a cyclist in a battle on the road. So they decided to claim a bunch of dumb made-up crap, just to say that I was in the wrong the entire time. Since they feel that cars are "entitled" to the road, when actually bicycles have been on the road longer than cars.

Kevin Selagea And also we can also use the full lane..If there are 2 more lanes over from me feel free to use one of those lanes and pass me simple as that. Cagers just get too butthurt on here I swear.

Kevin Selagea and whats funny is that on around 0:56 mark, the sign said 25 mph limit for a short until the end. so the tailgater could of just turned or moved to the second lane and none of this would of happen

***** You're going to have to prove that the speedometer is in kmh. It seems a bit unlikely since he passed two cars in the left lane going 20-30. If that was kmh, then the cars were doing less than 12-19 mph. But either way, that's no excuse for the other car to tailgate him. And that lane definitely isn't wide enough for a bike and a car at the same time.

***** Nah it was mph. He said he maxes out at about 35 mph.

Is a bike allowed on the highway if it can go the min speed at 45mph?

been riding my bike for years as my main mode of transportation. ive been in the most danger on the road then on the sidewalk. having cars that outweight me by 3000lbs driving within inches of me just doesnt compare to anything that can happen on a sidewalk. ive never been in an accident or even close to hurting anyone either.

Corey Burns I'm guessing you don't frequently ride above 20mph. Because if you did, you'd probably be dead by now.

"Anyone who says bikes aren't cars has never cycled" Actually, anyone who says bikes aren't cars know what a bike is and know what a car is.

***** so you friends aren't very aware of their surroundings then? several friends? also who stops riding on the sidewalk and goes on to the road without making sure no cars are coming up on you.

Matt in the Crown thats right, I dont bike that fast. im not talking about road bikers who go much faster than I do.

He is :)

So you willing cycle on roads with fast moving vehicles and then complain about getting hit? Man talk about a smooth brain.

That's what I was looking at. Couldn't tell if it was mph or kph.

Doing 30-32 mph is difficult, but do-able to a reasonably fit cyclist with the right gear. Doing 30-32 mph for a long period of time is very hard. This guy looks like he always rides fast.

Justin Time I loved that part

I got so happy when he said that. I get tailgated on a daily basis and the cops here witness it and do nothing about it. It's nice to see an officer stand up for the safety of others.

The bicycle was incorrect.

I can't agree with anymore than I am right now. All of these commenters saying that I was the one at fault for "speeding up to block him", "I shouldn't have been riding in the middle of the lane" are just extremely annoying. Mainly because they don't know exactly what happened and why. So they don't know what they're talking about most of the time, yet they just wanna accuse me for something. But you seem to understand it without an issue, and for that I say thank you. :)

was thinking that like i cycle a bit and i can avrg 30kms (aussie) not sure what that is in miles but i know 30mph is about 40-45 so thats freaking awesome

No one use fake measurements like miles (unless it's a regular mile, aka 10 km aka 10 000 m) and such.

Lol, you made that story up but nice try.

Please accept my deepest condolences 😭

+DriftTek There's this myth that the Speed Limit is for some reason a Speed Minimum. Bikes are vehicles just as cars are, and have a right to the roadways to get from Point A to Point B just as any car does. The only restrictions on that are limited access freeways where bicycles are prohibited. Otherwise, they're no different than any other vehicle on the road. Especially a roadway like this, with two lanes going in the same direction, you just wait until you can change over to the left lane and pass safely, just as you would behind a slow moving car.

Yeah I agree, I just believe there needs to be bike lanes. I've seen so many people riding bikes going like 10 on a busy road where you can't pass them.

Yeah, so the problem is less the cyclists than it is the poor infrastructure. I'd encourage petitioning your city council and other local authorities to stripe more bike lanes. The city where I live, we had a very vocal push to get our city to do this. As a result, cycling increased substantially, car traffic was reduced, and car vs. bike collisions actually went down.

+noodles91380 You do realize that you can't go too far under the limit, right? Driving at more than 10 mph below the speed limit is grounds for a ticket.

That's why they have bike lanes. But idiots think that anyone can ride on the road, they don't understand that it applies to people who ride for sport, not leisure.

Thumbs up Skokie PD.

That cop should have told that biker that streets are for cars. Sidewalks are for bikes. Stay off the damn street

Doug Gleason contrary to what you believe, the world is not a flat disk riding on a monstrous turtle, gravity pulls apples from the tree, the earth orbits around the sun, and America is not the eastern coast of India.

I can assure you, they do.

pfft mine doesnt even care about tailgating at all...

I've seen many police purposefully tailgate me to get me to speed up so they can give me a ticket. Anyone else have the same thing done to them?

I would slow down for them then

Let me get this straight. A cop was tailgating you and that forced you to tailgate someone else. WTF? That is not the smartest thing I have ever read online. "Officer, I had to break the law because someone behind me was breaking the law." Did you get a ticket? Did you use the same excuse to the judge in court? When tailgated, slow down, move over into the right lane (if possible) and pull over to let the guy pass. That is all you had to do. I got pulled over for tailgating a state police car! LOL. I was a STUPID teenager and the cop just gave me a warning. He let me off with a warning because I was courteous and didn't give him any crap. Later when I was old enough to know better, I got a ticket for tailgating a guy in a small town. I was late for a business meeting and I was tailgating. The cop saw it and pulled me over. He was right to do so and I told him so. I later visited the cop in his office (he was the police chief actually) and he agreed to reduce the fine. He didn't have to do that but I didn't try to lie, argue, or be an ass to him. I thanked him and wished him well and I think well of him now.

The psychological term is called "projection".

WHAT? where are they supose to be? Underwater?

I thought I heard, "I don't care". I said outloud, did that MF just tell him he doesn't care?

Just takes a few months of training. I went from a nothing cyclist to averaging 33+km/h over 90km (>20mph over 60 miles) during a half ironman in less than a year. That was a hilly one too, would have been over 35km/h on a flatter course.

+Buckaroo543 Sadly, the stats don't back you up. There have been a multitude of studies conducted in cities all over the US and elsewhere that have shown that cyclists don't break laws any more than motorists do. The only difference is, when a cyclist breaks a law he nearly always puts only himself at risk. When a motorist breaks a law, his car can turn into a murderous weapon that can wipe out entire families in a blink of an eye. While yes, some scofflaw cyclists do blow through stop signs (I don't do it myself, and I don't condone the behavior) every single day outside my house I see cars blow through the stop sign at the corner of my block as well. I see motorist texting ALL THE TIME. Speeding, cutting people off, etc. The point is, people are people and there are some bad eggs in every subset. And, little known fact, nearly all homeowners and renters insurance policies cover cyclists just like how auto insurance covers motorists. So if you live in a dwelling, you have insurance.

***** You are using anecdotes to case sweeping generalities. The stats simply do not back you up. Yes, there are assholes who ride bikes. But there are assholes who drive cars too I commute by bike daily, I obey traffic laws, stop and stop signs, and ride predictably and defensively. Daily I see motorists running stop lights, cutting people off, speeding, and texting. Oh my god the texting. I have a unique vantage point on my bike and its very easy to see inside the cabin of all the cars near me. FUCKING EVERYBODY IS ON THEIR SMARTPHONES. I've been hit by motorists while I was biking lawfully because they didn't check their mirrors and plowed right into me. So sure, say "fuck them all" but cyclists are not all as you describe.

+tonymengela He was trying to have a civil debate and all you could come up with was "douchebag latte". LMFAO!

+tonymengela : You are just plain wrong. I see cyclists who stop with regularity. They're far more common than you think. You don't notice the ones who stop. You only notice the ones who don't because they confirm your bias. Look up "confirmation bias". It's all about you. Cyclists don't have the carnage numbers to justify mandatory licensing or insurance. Motorists earned their requirement for licenses and insurance with their massive daily carnage. When cyclists are doing 0.01% as much damage to others as motorists are, then maybe we can revisit this. The real reason that you're so angry is that you think that the road is your territory and that cyclists are invading it. It's not your territory. People like you will sit in heavy traffic, stop and go for 20-30 minutes and just accept it but if a cyclist so much as causes you to have to change lanes you lose your mind. You're childish, territorial and self entitled. Cyclists are legally entitled to travel on the road. It's not that tough to share. Grow up and get over it.

That's because your were a KID with a tricycle that probably wasn't going faster than 5mph. Wouldn't you think the cop would've given the bicyclist a ticket if he wasn't allowed to bike in the streets?

30 mph on a sidewalk is impossible. bikes are vehicles and get to ride in the road.

My point was that I rode a bike.....as a kid. Now I have big boy pants, I drive a car. (joke, get over it) Also, if you can't bike at least 5mph OVER the speed limit on the street you're on, without a bike lane, you're holding up traffic. ANameThatIsn'tMyOwn Yeah. American thing, I'm guessing. I don't know much about how the roads are over there, but where I live there's marked bike lanes and signs for bikes.

I don't know about the US, but here bikes follow the same rules as any other vehicle whilst on the road. I'm pretty sure it's the same though. At least in some states.

Guess you don't realize that many jurisdictions in the US DON'T allow cyclists to ride their bikes on sidewalks.

@@robertwadas If you stay on the shoulder probably, this was 5 years ago and I don't even remember watching this video

@@robertwadas Technically yes, not advised though. But speed minimums don't apply on shoulders so bicycles can use freeways that way

The speed the bike can go is irrelevant anyway but he wasn't riding as fast as the cars, he was in front of it forcing the car to drive at his speed. The issue here is that roads were designed for fast moving vehicle and even if the law permits cyclists on the road, only a brain dead person that has no value for their life would voluntarily ride with vehicles.

thenthapple and when the fuck do you see one obeying The rules. Out here on narrow country roads they ride 3-4 abreast and end up eating rocks fresh from my back wheels.

Actually BIG DRAGON, laws regarding whether or not cyclists can ride abreast vary depending on country and state/territory; in some places, riding abreast on those narrow single roads is actually encouraged so you don't get collected by a driver trying to squeeze past when it's not safe.

Minel Fazlic He was taking up the entire lane and despite his ability to cycle at a fast top speed his acceleration is much slower than that of the cars that have to drive behind him because he takes up an entire lane the entire time he's on the road. That's something to get irritated/mad about. When I rode bikes, I never was so bullish or snobby.

Killer2600 Of course he was taking up an entire lane. So were all the vehicles in the video. The lanes on this street are not wide enough for a car to pass a bike within a lane. The tailgater should simply have changed lanes and passed the cyclist in the other lane. Vehicles have different rates of acceleration. That's true of different motor vehicles as well bicycles. It's certainly no reason to get mad or irritated.

Paul Kennedy A bicycle is not a motor vehicle and even motorcyclists share lanes with cars so why can't bicyclists? As for space for both a bicycle and a car in the same lane, we are seeing the same preview pic aren't we? The one with the suv pulled over, the cop walking up beside it, and the bicycle passing them both riding near dead on the dotted line? And you say a bicycle wouldn't fit? And I should be mad, cyclists like that make the rest of them look bad and I used to be an avid bicycle rider. When I rode I knew what it meant to share the road and have respect, courtesy, responsibility for other road users. I was even appreciative of the fact that I got free use of the road while they had to pay licensing and tax to use it. So yeah I should be mad when they can't reciprocate good will because they are too busy being self-centered, high, and mighty. In parts of asia, bicycles are still the dominant mode of transportation and even they share the road better.

Killer2600 Nobody said a bicycle is a motor vehicle. I don't know why you mention it. When the cyclist is passing the police officer and the car he is riding at 3 mph. At that speed it is perfectly possible and perfectly safe (although he will need to have checked that the neighboring lane is free, because he is actially on that side of the dotted line). At 30 mph the lanes are not wide enough for vehicles side by side. That's why lanes on a street are wider than in a parking lot, why lanes on a main road are wider than that, and why freeway lanes are wider still. But you don't have to be a traffic engineer; commonsense will tell you that.

Paul Kennedy What makes you think it's not wide enough? Do roads narrow as speed increases to 30 mph? Yes, no one said a bike is a motor vehicle but I'm saying a road is for motor vehicles, hence why wheel chairs, segway's, and pedestrians are forbidden from walking/rolling down the middle of the street vs being on the side walk or off to the side in the cases where there is no sidewalk. Common sense would tell you bikes don't belong in the middle of the road where cars are.

Actually you got must of that wrong. For starters. I actually said "Thank you. My name is Kevin by the way." Second of all. I did go to the station, after my ride, to give them the info that they need and all that. I was not gonna do all of that in front of the guy, and on camera, and I showed them the video. so I didn't just book it. If you listened to what was said, I was actually free to go. So why would I stay, if he didn't need me?

Oh and another thing to add to that, is that I gave the officer a promotion and a raise.

+Kevin Selagea "My name is Kevin by the way" Next line off camera was "want to join me for a drink at the Blue Oyster Bar tonight"?

Okay, you went to the station later. Maybe you even mentioned that on the video. Maybe not. But I reacted based on what I saw (or noticed) on the actual video. And oooh, ok I paraphrased your flyby comment. I didn't mischaracterize it. Didn't want to be seen by the guy? shrugs. Didn't want to be "on camera"? Interesting, since you were shooting. Cop was on your camera. And you could've looped around and waited behind cop car. Not on cop's dash cam and hard for dude to see.

He was filling out report then. Could use both statements, acquired simultaneously, as part of that. Later...at station...not as good. And...YOU gave the cop a promo and raise? What does that even mean? Discounting the you...even just " and as a result of this particular ticket transaction... The officer received a promotion and a raise... From his superiors, not from you... Still dubious. On cop shows they sometimes say the got a promotion for breaking a big case. I don't know about that. But just for ticketing 1 driver for careless driving? Very doubtful. Unless maybe there was a body or two or 10 pounds of heroin or both in the trunk and he found it

the lane was too narrow for me to ride on the side

Kevin Selagea oh okay. I ride in a rural area so the traffic isn't much so i usually take the side of the road, hence why i was confused Safe Riding!!!

***** riding next to the sidewalk is the safest place or if the road has a bike lane,they should use that.

Van Wilder There's no bike lane here, and the lane is so narrow that riding off to the side is far and away more dangerous than riding in the middle of the lane, statistically.

+VandelayyIndustries Drafting behind a bicycle. OMG so funny! My favorite comment so far today!

You seem to have a very healthy attitude. Most people online choose a side and defend it to the extreme. I do disagree with you on the speed limits. Just because everyone does it, it doesn't mean it is ok. I don't mind people speeding on highways, but it is extremely selfish and irresponsible to speed in urban areas, specially in areas with many pedestrians.

Life is Awesome, can you honestly say that you have never accidentally exceeded the speed limit due to the flow of traffic? I think not. All I was saying is that everyone slips now and then. I'm just being honest and realistic. Thanks for the compliment on my attitude. I try to keep an open mind

I cannot say that. In fact I used to purposely speed. I would always set my cruise control 5mph-10mph above the speed limit, except in school zones and 25mph residential zones. But as I grew older and thought about it more carefully, I started thinking that just because most people do it it doesn't mean its ok. More than 3400 people die everyday worldwide from car accidents. That is about one every 30 seconds. In most countries, including the US and Canada, car accidents are the main cause of death for people between 5 and 40 years old. And half the people who die were not driving. Speeding cars are endangering other people's lives just to get to the next traffic light a few seconds sooner.

disinfor Thanks man. Now I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who gets tailgated, while sprinting down Lawrence in the bike lane. It's as if the Drivers think that they're allowed to drive in the bike lane, so that they can cut through traffic. It's even worse on Elston going south, especially during rush hour. Ride safe man.

Kevin Selagea Ha! You don't have to tell me about Elston. That was my main commute route from Aug. 2009 to Jan 2015. Pulaski-ish to Milwaukee (and back) every work day. If you rode with any frequency during the 9-5 commute during those years, we probably saw each other.

"Cyclist here." I don't believe you. If you were a cyclist, you'd recognize that being as far to the right as safe would have made zero difference in this case.

Stationary bikes don't count, dude. People that ride bikes that move know that he was in the safest spot for those conditions. Also, 30 mph for that long gets mad props from my fat, sluggishly pedaling ass.

Where was the room for him to ride on the right side of lane?

What? The cyclist has explained there was debris and potholes further right, doing so would have damaged his bike. You can tell at times he stays a little left but well within the lane. He did absolutely nothing wrong. He was also going the speed limit, and at times 3+ over the limit, and was also in the slow/right lane. The car had zero reason to tail gate him. If you were a real cyclist you would understand that you SHARE THE ROAD.

You sir, are not a cyclist. There was an empty lane to the left where the car could have passed the cyclist at any time.

I couldn't because there was too much debris and potholes on the side I would've pulled to, and I was going faster than traffic so there wasn't any reason for me to do it at the time. I would've flipped over and ended up in the hospital, if I pulled over.

Kevin Selagea I see! Thanks for the reply!

robjapan you're welcome!

And even if he had been able to pull over, his speedo clearly shows a speed between 25-32 mph for most of the video. I don't know what the speed limit is on this road but he seems to be keeping up with traffic. Plus, there's a whole lane to the left the guy could have used to overtake. :)

The cyclist was doing nothing reckless. The cop stopped the car not the cyclist.

MrCarzyboy21 actually the bicyclist was speeding lol

MrCarzyboy21 Did you idiots take a riding school or go take your riding license? Can your bike ride at a constant 30 mph (or more)? Does your bike have turn signals and a horn? Does your bike have insurance coverages?

If the lane is too narrow, they do not have to stay to the right in the state he is in.

***** the edge of the road is not always solid, so the minimum width is fine for a car but the bike needs to stay on a more stable surface. The law saw practicable not practical.

Not all cops are bad, asshole thing to say. #coplivesmatter

Oh yeah, you don't mind when the thugs are acting thuggish on your behalf, do you? Typical cyclist hypocrites.

Lmao where I live, the cops are the ones doing the tailgating

MetroAssetRecovery .......I'm sure you do but unfortunately they are the ones you'll rarely come in contact with

You do, youre just brainwashed to believe more of them arent like this then they are.

yeah its legal

+Linus Magnus its unethical but legal.

Its kinda sucks. Speed limit 30 miles and cyclist is blocking you :/

+kevin hartley It is not unethical. I live in a state in the DC-Metro region. Where the state legislature recently put it in law. That a cyclist may 'take the lane'. I 'take the lane', ALL THE TIME. Because, I had too many close calls of drivers speeding by me. When I 'hugged the curb'. By my 'taking the lane', motorists' have to pass me, just like another motorist. The 'close pass' law in my state is three feet. Instead of hoping a motorist will obey that. I use the three feet to the curb, as a 'fallback zone', if a motorist unnerves me. I won't let a motorist turn me into 'collateral damage'. On account of them not wanting to wait until it is safer to pass.

+Linus Magnus If you think a cyclist is blocking you. Then you are downright lazy about passing safely.

Not everyone who drives is nuts, but your statement is nuts. I have to say though, I'd be scared to death to road bike in USA, the texting drivers are the worst and there are road ragers who hate everyone and would love to kill a road biker.

I have spent some time in India so your powers of judgment need some tweaking. LOL. My GF lives in Indonesia and her videos are pretty telling..........I warn her about riding the motorbike taxis but to no avail. I wouldn't ride a motorbike or bicycle in India or Indonesia either. From what I know of those places, your "Mad Max" comparison is accurate and life is very cheap.

Not everyone who wants to hit a cyclist is a road rager, just people who have their mind blown at some idiot riding their bike in the street 5-10mph in a 30mph street filled with traffic and believe in karma.

SuperCar Source you need to experience china and india. its like the apocalypse and doomsday had a baby!

I'm guessing you've never even been to the u.s.

It's born from the fact that most cyclists think they can have their cake and eat it too. They need to either be designated as a pedestrian or a motorist. Instead they choose whichever label suits them at the time. They won't follow basic traffic laws like stopping at red lights or stop signs, but then they'll expect to be able to ride in the middle of a road or get special protection from tailgaters like in this video. EDIT: Forgot to mention that while they claim the right to travel the roads like a motorist, they won't register their "vehicles".

Bicycles do not "choose whatever label suits them." What you are describing is the consequence of federal guidelines for how bicycles are integrated into the system. They are classified as vehicles, and thus required to behave like cars, but they don't work like cars. There is *literally* no way to avoid this. A great deal of the "bad behavior" you are observing could be better described as bad street design. The crappy street design is also municipalities following state regulations, which in turn must comply with federal guidelines.

+largol33t1 I don't cycle, but my daily commute is a moped. Glorious top speed of 49mph. Trucks and SUVs are always trying to kill me on a daily basis. Tailgating, brake checking, trying to run me off the road, you name it.

+largol33t1 What kind of moron rides a bike on a public road made for motorized vehicles. The fact cars should have to adjust their speed, perception, awareness or behavior to accommodate mode of transport that shouldn't even be on the road to begin with(because it gets the full benefits without contributing any thing to the operation or use of that road), is ludicrous and fucking idiots like you who condone it are even more ludicrous.

+SadisticStang road for vehicles. I seen a 30mph speed limit and the cyclist going 32. why do you need to pass? yeah, who gives a fuck about your perception deficit. don't fucking drive if you can't pay attention.

Actually he could've fined him the medical bill if he had ran him over

+SadisticStang it's the law.

.......No........

What kind of idiot do you have to be to say something like that to an Officer when you were just caught doing something extraordinarily reckless? That driver deserves to have his/her license confiscated. I'm glad you got out of that unharmed, drivers and people in general today are so ignorant and disrespectful.

The Village of Skokie in IL. Was going to ask how far it was from Springfield, thinking of moving there, but I looked it up. Saw the sign at the end that said Skokie Village Hall ;p. It looks nice there.

djjbzombies it is pretty nice, but the downtown area is kinda meh. They are trying to fix it up and stuff but its gonna be awhile till that happens.

djjbzombies Skokie is a shithole. There are gangs there too. My brother lived there..

Depends on what side you live on.

No, most are power-mongering jackasses with horrible priorities who love to destroy people's lives. If all -- or even most -- cops were like the one in the video, then I'd be a huge supporter of the police.
