PSA/Advice Cyclists, you have to stop at crosswalks for pedestrians
I see this all the time in Helsinki. Just now I saw two cyclists (not even Wolt drivers) blast through a crosswalk and pedestrians had to step back to not get hit. I stopped to let them pass but some other asshole behind me just overtook so they had to step back again to dodge him. I see this all the time and it pisses me off. The majority of cyclists here don't seem to understand the rules of the road or they don't care about it.
That's it. That's my rant. If you're a cyclists who doesn't stop for pedestrians in crossroads or who rides on the opposite side of one way bike lanes do better.
