I get cyclists using the road. Here where i live there is no infrastructure for bycles. I have been there and it’s hideous to cooperate with cars on the road. the only problem i have with cyclists are the ones that think thar bikes don’t have to abide to circulation laws. For example, in a country that drives on the right. I had a cyclist behind me, i turn on the indicator to turn right and as i turn the cyclist overtakes me from the right and then acts pissed because i almost put them under. Let’s not speak about the ones that take one way roads from the wrong sides to take a shortcut.

On an American road it makes sense. You want to claim more space for your own safety. Which should be fine, in most places in the us bicycles are legally no different from a truck when it comes to traffic rules.

It’s nothing to do with individual choice and everything to do with design.

bike lane? did you mean painted gutter?

Oh the I’ll just be 5 mins carpark

In Germany, we have the wonderful Radwegebenutzungspflicht (obligation to use cycle paths). Unfortunately most drivers don’t realize this only applies to about 10% of Germany’s cycle paths, which are marked by a blue sign. They think the obligation applies to all cycle paths, and so they keep giving cyclists shit.
