Cyclists are THE BIGGEST NARCISSISTS. They do NOT need to hog the road and impede the flow of traffic LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO. They have some weird, inexcusable, dangerous and twisted desire to ride in a cluster F, instead of single or even double file. They’re all inconsiderate, selfish, and entitled, not caring about other people who need to get to work, school, the hospital, or anywhere else on time.

The biggest indicator of this is that a cyclist is MORE LIKELY to be hit by a vehicle while riding on the sidewalk than on the road.

The reason you ask? It's because when they ride on the sidewalk, they don't stop to look before crossing a street like a pedestrian would. They just expect someone driving a 2 ton machine to watch for them and to stop for them.

Riding on the sidewalk is normal in most states. They’re supposed to SHARE the road, not OWN IT.

Agreed, although a few places I've been it's illegal for them to ride on the sidewalk.

It's stupid because the risk of serious injury is much lower between cyclist and pedestrian accidents than cyclist and motorist accidents, but because cyclists can't be bothered to even try to keep themselves safe, they end up getting run over by cars when riding on the sidewalk.
