The rule says, “No vehicles in the park”

There is a logic to it though. On a bicycle you are mostly risking your own life, so you are likely to make good judgements about when you can break the rules. In a car, you are mostly riding other people’s lives (bicyclists and pedestrians). Different incentives.

Ah yes, I think that's a realy common behaviour. In fact, I got hit by a cyclist on an e-bike in London running a red light.

The fact that you’re here to tell is a clear sign that the impact isn’t so high as if it were a car.

Morons exist :-(

Yeah, managed to have stitches in the back of my head, but I'll not argue that I'd rather be hit by a bike than a car. If those are the only options. To be fair, the bike rider didn't exactly walk away without some bumps and bruises either.

Yes, I was just trying to show that the same people can have a different attitude to the same rules if the context is a bit different.
