How a significant part of public opinion sees people on bikes
How a significant part of public opinion sees people on bikes
People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can't be aggressive.
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.

No what I hate about bikes besides everyone saying it doesn't happen is them not following the rules of the road
Man, if only they had like a place to fuck off to, so they don't have to be on the road... Maybe like an area completely off the street? COUGHS IN DUTCH
Yes, in a car
I fucking hate dodging cyclists, especially when visiting my mom in the country side, single lanes, poor visibility, god forbid it's summer and everyone's out fucking cycling. You know where I never had to go around a cyclist? Literally any Dutch city I visited, because bikes lanes are almost completely separate. Driving in the Netherlands is fucking great. Despite the bike infrastructure, drivers aren't at all compromised. Just look at their highways, shit looks like a copy paste of American highways.
This is what you people sound to me like ever since my trip in the Netherlands:
like not parking or driving in the bike lanes ? Like not speeding on every street because of the "cushion" ?
like driving without a license ? or insurance ?
oh you were whining about the human powered vehicle not the one the needs gas/coal/oil. My bad.
Every time I take my bike I'm amazed at how many car drivers don't follow (or don't know) the rules about overtaking safely.
You only get to pass me if there is plenty of space and it's absolutely safe for both of us. Just because you're in a car doesn't mean you're entitled to squeeze past and nearly run me over.
Sometimes, though rarely, they even come to a complete stop at the slow down sign.
