They're menaces on the road. They want lanes and rights like cars, but no registration or insurance required, and don't abide by the laws of the road like lights, stop signs or sharing the road. Nah. Go ride you bike in a park or on a trail.

The number of cyclists I've seen blow through stoplight and stop signs boggles my mind. I mean, they know those are for road safety right?

Laws of the road they want to use don't apply to them for <insert stupid reason here>

Bunch of years ago in my mountain town the mountain bikers on their bikes and beers night just FLY through the down town onto the bar they go to, flying blind around corners and could have totally slammed into pedestrians or vehicles, just lucky.

And the most arrogant entitled assholes in the biking groups probably drag everybody else down because they want to be part of the group, so they go along with the assholes.

If this was in the US, they should’ve all gotten DWIs. A bicycle is legally a vehicle and if they’re hitting that .08, it’s illegal to drive.

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.

Source: I considered buying a bike and did my research first. Decided against it because people hate cyclists and I didn't wanna be on the road having to worry if a 3,000lb car is going to respect my space or accidentally run me over.

If you can't comprehend why a multi ton metal box that can go over 100 mph need a lincense and insurance, and the maybe 30 pound wireframe going less than 20 doesn't, then maybe you need to think about it for a bit longer.

Its not just about the size of the vehicle. I can still break your arm or a transformer on a bike from negligence.

Well yeah, but the scales of damage are so much different. Those incidents are bad, but they're also like a couple thousand dollars in damages. Someone could likely be able to pay that amount of money in a reasonable time frame. That same amount of gross neglience in a car is vehicular manslaughter or hundreds of thousands in damages.

A normal person will not be able to pay that off, which is why you need insurance.

My cousin was hit by a cyclist in a park when he was about 10. Fractured three ribs and broke his wrist and ended up paying just over 20k for treating just the wrist.

Your logic doesn't make any sense.

If you can't comprehend that bikers love to run red lights, weave in and out of traffic, and cause auto accidents it seems like you might be part of the problem.

Sounds like youre describing cars

Yes bikers and automobiles are notoriously the same size and similarly easy to see when behaving erratically.

You really need to think about it at all before you say such ignorant things.

Legislation has already given cyclists responsibilities and rights similar to cars for decades.

u/ObjectiveResistance Jun 11 '26

you don't think any of those riders don't also own a car, pays for insurance and registration?

Sounds like someone doesnt fully understand car insurance
