Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

That is an accurate representation of a lot of the people who come out here, trust me.

As for bike bells, well... usually people ride on the sidewalk at almost walking pace and ring them arrogantly until people get out of the way. School kids also ride on the sidewalk but do so at a dangerous speed and ring them non-stop like a siren.

Japanese cycling is a complete mess and it's amazing there aren't more accidents.

Do you think? I used to commute by bike from Kichijoji to Shibuya every day and thought that by and large traffic responded much better to cyclists than in London. Everybody, even taxi drivers, seemed more aware and dare I say concerned about the presence of cyclists... the riding on the pavement thing is entirely different I grant you.
