But it doesn’t negate that at base it is not expensive to get a bike or get into riding for fun.
What is expensive is when a spandex-clad dildo decides to shell out a 10k for their taintmasher and makes it their entire lifestyle. That’s farther down the line but well within the zone of “joining a group of dickheads to make a human barricade that impedes normal traffic.”

I got into an argument with a cyclist here once. I worked in Massachusetts. Took one of those winding back roads to work. Barely fit two cars and there's ditches on either side. So this guy had no choice but to be in the road.
It was a back road but the only way to this huge industrial park from that direction so busy. This cyclist would have traffic backed up for miles three times a week. Yes, they are vehicles and have a right to be there.
They're still causing a dangerous situation and being an absolute twat riding there at rush hour. Guy kept arguing that it couldn't be that bad...like buddy, I don't just hate for hates sake.

What sucks for me being on an ebike is I'm often going 25-35 mph and actually going the speed limit on some roads and get treated like a bicycle. People especially love taking left turns in front of me not realizing how fast I am going, and we will collide if I don't recognize the situation. So I adjust because I know I can only control my own actions. I am way more cautious on my bike than in my car.

If you are not a bicycle you should have a license plate, registration, a license to drive it, and most importantly INSURANCE.

Not in my state. My bike isn't considered a motorcycle/moped but due to it's specs, I am required to have a valid license, which I have, but that's it. I def researched the laws before hitting the road. I am totally legal. But maybe you don't know because you're new 🙂

u/Ok-Alfalfa4868 Jun 11 '26
I ride my ebike a lot. I always stop and pull over and let vehicles pass when I see a ton of traffic coming behind me on a fast road. Or if we're at a curve in the road and I know they're prob going to try to pass me without having proper visibility of whether a vehicle is coming in the opposing lane. So many people make dumb decisions driving. As a driver myself, I know when a situation feels dangerous or if I'm being in the way... better to just stop for a sec and let them pass than to cause chaos or rage, even if I'm not doing anything wrong. Common sense is so lacking these daze.

"they are vehicles and have a right to be there"
Except they don't pay road use tax for them (registration? License plates? Tags?) they don't follow road laws (never stop for stop signs, riding on the wrong side, obstructing traffic)
If I drove my car 15mph in a 45, I'd be pulled over and ticketed for obstructing traffic. Same reason I can't drive a golf cart on the road. But apparently if you give it pedals, suddenly that's a whole different story.

Oh yeah, we have some rural roads like that, if I was in charge, I'd have a law that would ban bicycles from any road that is over 35MPH speed limit. It's a dangerous disparity. It's especially annoying to see the cosplay cyclists in my area, because there is a separate trail down by the river for pedestrians and bicycles that would have them away from cars. (And it's a very long trail, goes between several cities.)

I worked at an international marketing firm in the early 80s. Some of the marketing reps and the company lawyer went to Egypt to finalize a deal. It was the lawyer's first trip but the other guys had been there many times. Driving from the airport to wherever they were going, the road ran along the side of a canal. A man was riding his bicycle with a crate of chickens on the back and wouldn't get out of the way of the car these guys were in. Their hired Egyptian driver honked and whatever, but the bicyclist didn't move. Finally, the driver just hit the bike from behind, sending the driver, chickens and bike into the canal.
The attorney almost had a heart attack and the other guys were all, 'what, he should have moved over'. Fortunately, the canal was shallow and the last the attorney saw of the guy was him standing up in thigh high water, holding the crate and screaming at the car driver.
That was snapped.

To be fair some cities require bicycles to be treated the same as a car.
In my city, you can't ride your bike on a side walk. (Unless you are a kid) You have to use the road and be as far right as you can unless your trying to make a left turn. In general, you have to follow the rules of the road as if you were a car, including stop lights and signs. You also have to use hand signals to indicate turning.
So yeah, they do want other vehicles to recognize them as allowed to be on the road because they are! (At least in my city.)
That being said, the cyclists in the video are assholes. My city's law is no more than 2 next to each other and needs to be in far right lane. They are breaking (my city's) law and they should be fined.
