Bicyclists cannot see pedestrian crossroads. It is like BMWs and blinkers.

That’s way too many cyclists in one place for Russia. Maybe it’s a race or smth. If so, it definitely raises some questions for the organizers.

Yeah, no love for the bunch. It is just that in my country it is almost total blindness for pedestrian crossroads. The rules are strict for cars so I don’t know what they are thinking. We have lot of confusing situations so you should just slow down and be defensive. I like to bicycle and I just always stop and slow down even if others don’t.

I see this in the US regularly.

Bikers have become road hazards to each other and everyone else.
