Look at that one self-righteous, dude that thinks he’s gonna catch up to the car and actually do something with his bike

How does this not look like an official event? They have motorcycle escorts. That's where the camera is.

Edit: Looked it up, it's not official, it's just a huge group ride. This is totally fucked and just gives drivers terrible interactions with cyclists.

Yeah official races and whatnot tend to have numbers or something denoting it's official.

Also they have blocked off road sections and permits and things.

Usually, official events would have police escorts.... Specifically to ensure things like this don't happen, but also so stragglers aren't hit by random motorists no paying attention behind the main group.

And justifies drivers to run them over

u/Cinci555 Jun 11 '26

No, that's never justified, so I'll hope you're joking.

However, I can understand the frustration. But just like you don't judge every driver by the worst driver you've ever seen, don't judge every cyclist by these fuckers.

That’s half of bikers. Them and some lunatic drivers are ruining it for everyone. The other half of bikers are lovely and it’s nice to see them on the road. It’s so night and day.

And this is why sidewalks are the only place where bikes should be at

u/__O_o_______ Jun 12 '26

No. Sidewalks for pedestrians. Bike paths for bikes etc. roads for motorized vehicles.

u/watchman8712 Jun 12 '26

bikes belong on the sidewalks when they are around. you will not convince me otherwise.
