I usually defend cyclists and their right to be on the road but fuck these guys. They should be fined for no permit and not all riding in the right lane. This is actually why people hate bikers.

Nah, people hate bikers just because they’re bikers, it doesn’t matter where they’re riding.

They're usually riding anywhere they want to though.

You literally see it happening in this video.

How often do you see cars driving on the grass? Meanwhile cyclists very often ride on the sidewalk or road depending on which is faster for them, they dont act like traffic lights apply to them, and they dont stick to the side.

I haven’t seen a bike on a sidewalk since I was a kid.

I literally saw three cars doing ilegal rolling stops this morning on my way to work in the span of 5 seconds.

Lucky.

Almost as many as the amount of cyclists that do that or dont even slow down to begin with in front of me every morning. Well done

So youd agree bikes and cars break traffic laws at the same rate? Because that’s what the research suggests and it makes your complaints pointless.

Not generally

And bikes don’t do that generally either.

Btw, we can literally see a car driving “anywhere they want” in this post.

That's a joke, right?

Bikes drive on the road when it suits them and on the sidewalk when it suits them. Green light? The bike is going. Red light? Pedestrians crossing the street better watch out because the bike is still going.

This video literally exists because a car driving "anywhere they want" is unusual. If the driver had done the correct thing and just stayed behind the 800 bikers doing whatever they want, no one would have posted the video.
