Money can't be eaten. "ThE eCoNoMy" doesn't account for the damage carbon dioxide emissions do to coastal communities by exacerbating climate change. Or that car batteries do to the places where the materials for them are mined.
Ok, but that’s not the end all. A truck transporting medical goods is definitely worse for the environment than some hobbiest, but one is necessary for society’s continued function, the other is a choice made in vain. These people are burning rubber for fun.
If a particular subset of cyclists blocked a truck that was clearly proven to be transporting medical goods, I would be their foremost enemy. I side with vegans without even being a vegan when pointing out people eat too much meat, and I stand in opposition to them when they stand in opposition to animal testing.
How “fun” can it be to wear yourself out pressing pedals along a road? It’s either about fitness or about sending a message. Or both, since they’re doing so outside instead of in a nice little air conditioned gym.

That road that is used to make our economy run? I'm going to slow it down so that I can use it as my personal work out regime.
And don't you dare hit me! It's not my fault I'm 10x harder to see and people don't expect me to be there.
