It would be funny if I didn't know that someday I will see a cyclist get creamed by a car because they can't wait 20 seconds and think drivers are paying attention. The stupid risks I see people take on a daily basis to "save" 10 seconds of their time is total car brain with cyclists.

Where do y'all thread? I do a lot of waiting in lines of cars because trying to squeeze between huge vehicles and the curb seems like suicide when anyone might turn right on red.

The stupid risks I see people take on a daily basis to "save" 10 seconds of their time is total car brain with cyclists. Even without the risk, this is just rear end in a top hat behaviour. It happens fairly often in Copenhagen, where I'll stop behind the pedestrian crossing and some idiot will insist on passing me at the red to go in front of the crossing, and then start in the highest possible gear so slowly and I can't pass him because other people are coming from behind. Then repeat at the next red that I didn't make because I couldn't start.

It's safer to filter to the front, but not so safe to run stop lights. I don't give poo poo about rolling through stop signs, but I've seen way too many cars floor it to get through a yellow to trust anything that happens at a light.

The Lycra warriors all ride gravel bikes out on the forest roads or just ride on the road even when there is a bike path right there. Like what kind of roadie wants to deal with pedestrians and dogs and babies and poo poo? When I was doing triathlons it was always the road in Florida of all places. The only folks who do stupid poo poo like buzzing pedestrians on the MUP I've ever seen are teenagers and drunk old men I'm bringing this up because it seems to be an Internet kind of straw man guy whose presence as an abstraction to sow a vague distaste for cyclists might be a lot more prominent than it's actual impact.

I see it often enough but l also see street clothed folks on commuter bikes pulling dumb poo poo on mutli-use paths as well including bumping into pedestrians instead of waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. Everyone should just take a breath and relax, give people space.

I can't even remember the last time I saw an actual lycra type road cyclist. Maybe they really have all become gravel cyclists now Yesterday I rode my bike and I stopped to let groups of hikers pass me 3 times. They were all friendly and one asked me for directions and I got to tell two leashed dogs that they were very nice

Pedestrians should exercise more awareness of their surroundings and not expect everyone else to cater to their obliviousness. Horses shouldn't be allowed on non-horse specific trails
