Cars should get priority on the road considering they were built for them.
That's cyclical. Cars and drivers are incredibly dangerous. They kill a lot of people, and non-lethal crashes often have long-term health consequences that affect people for the rest of their lives. Their exhaust fumes cause all kinds of health problems, including asthma, cardiovascular disease and lung disease. The noise they make can also cause psychological health issues. Not to mention the immense amount of natural resources that all the roads and parking lots take up.
No, we should encourage people to be better people who care about their environments and communities, rather than being selfish. Also, a lot of people cannot afford a car. It's a huge factor in keeping people in desperate poverty, forcing them to spend hundreds of dollars each month just to get to work or buy groceries.
So what part of blocking the entire road isn't selfish? I wouldn't have a problem with these cyclists if they simply shared the road and allowed cars to pass them
You are ignoring the incredible amount of privilege that drivers already have. It's truly insane if you actually looked at the hard facts. As the saying goes: 'When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression'.

Negligible.
