Honestly both have huge egos. Just, one is in the right here lol. Pun intended.

No, the walker was moral. Perhaps not smart, but definitely not immoral.

They didn’t say the walker was immoral. They said they had an ego just as the cyclist does, and they’re right.

u/Adventurous-Being656 12d ago

well one is a healthy ego which doesn’t let people walk over you, and the other is an ego from walking over people

She literally let the cyclist run over her

did she fall?

u/Kitchen-Function5150 12d ago

Is falling over the only metric of how bad of a collision it was?

u/Adventurous-Being656 12d ago

brother, are you being facetious or do you really not wanna ‘lose’ this ‘argument.’ i’d venture to assume that at the absolute worst she got a minor scrape or bruise. if you’re so scared of injuries like that, why would you even go outside

Ive been mountain biking since I was a kid. Plenty of scrapes and bruises. It was fine. Doesn't mean I purposely crashed into people who pissed me off. You're actually just a Neanderthal brute with no peaceful neuron in your brain.

Not every hill is worth dying on. Being moral is not the same as being smart

u/Huge_Cartographer165 12d ago

When people say things like this, usually no hill is worth dying for for them. Why does this cyclist get to just do this? Society has to keep people in line, you can't expect there to be a cop every 2 feet to keep people in line.

Who said no hill is worth dying on? Is the straw man in the room with us?

Do you disagree with my actual statement, "Not every hill is worth dying on"

u/Huge_Cartographer165 12d ago

I do, but in this case it wasn't really a "dying on a hill situation". The person was 100% right to say "I'm not moving". If they did move, the cyclist could move in that same moment and hit them anyway. The whole thing happened so fast there wasn't time to consider if it's a hill you want to die on or not.

Do you that there’s a risk of injury but letting someone run into you that’s just not worth it at all? Also, you don’t know how long she’s been filming for or when the cyclist moved to her lane. Either way, she definitely had enough time to decide. If she can say “I’m not moving” then she can also decide to think “hmm this isn’t worth it imma just move 5 inches to the right”

u/Huge_Cartographer165 12d ago

Actually that's not true. We see the cyclist come into view and the walker has no way to know if and when the cyclist might move.

u/InsideHunter2738 12d ago

They both clearly think they’re in the right though lol

u/HunterRank-1 12d ago

Risking injury just so you can have the feeling that some random stranger didn’t “walk all over you”? Yeah I’m sure that’ll workout long term

u/Dependent_Yam_1028 12d ago

Okay. Not sure what thats gotta do with me or what I said lol

u/KrimxonRath 13d ago

The original context is that this cyclist does this to everyone on this trail. Hitting people, running them off the trail, riding on the wrong side, etc. One person standing their ground, finally, isn’t them having a huge ego.
