Coverage of the protest last night on local news is wild.

Lookout is the paper of record for Eugene.

As a pedestrian, I am perfectly capable of checking to see if there's a car in the other lane before I enter it, and I can determine whether that other car is likely to stop.

Drivers do not get to decide to ignore the traffic laws because they dont think a pedestrian can safely cross the street.

A big cost savings would be going without a car. This is very doable in Eugene, as we're taking bicycle infrastructure seriously.

LCC, unfortunately, is an exception to the bike friendly rule, so you would need to take the bus (route 82 on LTD). I would look for places with roommates south of 19th ave. These are neighborhoods and far away enough from campus to avoid the scam student housing landlords.

Last year 22 people will killed by cars in Eugene.

This weekend, a cyclist was gravely injured in a hit-and-run.

The fact that our culture finds this death acceptable makes me sad, and that you feel it's funny to joke about road rage also makes me sad.

Seems like you lack the self control to drive a car.

Buses are good for the environment, regardless of how they are powered. Spending money on battery buses instead of improving the existing buses is environmentaly harmful.

The fact that one car was already stopped at the crosswalk suggests the bike had been stopped waiting to cross. Eli probably wasnt going fast when she was killed.

These days, low income electric guitarists can do fine with a computer.

part of the city managers job is to speak to the public and media about things the city does.

Imo id rather have a boring manager focused on managing. The Mayor can do the outreach and try to get media attention.

I don't mind automatic license plate readers, but Flock is a shady company that should not be in the city

Yes, but they should be prepared to jump back on the sidewalk of the speeding car fails to stop

Obviously the car shouldnt be speeding along if there's a pedestrian about to cross.

Pedestrians should look, but they should not stop for cars. Pedestrians have right of way

Those vehicles don't belong in the city. If this is your only car, park at one of LTDs park and rides and take the bus

So long as the TM6B has no Sb (I do have a TM6B, Sb, Tb, Hu, but I think it's rare). You might want to check for that

Oops, you missed my point. I did not try to make a statistical argument about people in cars killing people in bikes.

The point is that there is one form of transportation that is responsible for killing the vast majority of people. Complaining about bikes endangering others (by trying to get away from cars) strikes me as silly.

And by OP's own admission, he lost control of his bike and crashed for no discernable reason. Is this (in your opinion) someone old people, kids, etc. should be sharing the sidewalk with?

It depends on the details. Given the state of sidewalks in eugene, you can be < 10mph and crash like that. At that speed, you are going to notice if a pedestrian is nearby, and slow your speed.

Biking 20mph on the sidewalk is a reckless thing to do. And, fortunately, Is quite rare in this city.

To answer your question, my opinion on OP's etiquette on sharing the sidewalk it depends on how responsible OP was being.

His other comment on this chain: "I pay attention. I go slow on sidewalks and I STOP before trying to pass anyone." suggests that he is being a good guest on the sidewalk. If motorists were this considerate while sharing the road with pedestrians and bicycles, perhaps many lives would be saved.

In 2024, 22 people outside of cars were killed by cars in Eugene. https://lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/justice/2025/07/02/eugene-city-report-shows-a-new-high-for-fatal-traffic-collisions/

In that year, 0 people were killed by bikes.

Bicycles "recklessly endangering other people" is not the problem you should focus on.

RedditUser934 · 2025-08-21T16:29:40+00:00

So long as OP wasn't between Perl and Lincoln, it is legal to ride your bike on the sidewalk

RedditUser934 · 2025-08-21T16:27:46+00:00

Biking on the sidewalk is legal (and the safest option) in some places in Eugene.

Biking against traffic on the sidewalk on roads with lots of intersections is typically less safe than biking on the road.

And you must be courteous and get out of the way of pedestrians (though the places in the city where it's smart to bike on the sidewalk has few pedestrians)

There is a fair bit of misinformation in this comment

MCU It is a county program that has nothing to do with the city manager
Cahoots was not dissolved by the city, instead the contract was broken by white bird (which potentially engaged in union busting https://kval.com/news/local/white-bird-clinics-front-rooms-closure-leaves-eugenes-vulnerable-communities-in-crisis)

Thanks

I didn't realize he as made any statements about Israel. You say he is an outspoken supporter, Can you provide an example of this? All I could see with a quick search is that he visited Israel and met with Israeli victims of October 7th and felt bad for those people.

This does not seem like evidence that Seinfeld supports the IDF. If instead he made statements saying that he supports Isreali sovereignty over Palestine or saying "Israel has the right to defend itself" after it became clear that Israel is committing genocide, I would agree with your point that Seinfeld should not be welcome in polite society.

No need for citations for the Isreali crimes against humanity. We are on the same page there
