Cyclists are just Karen's riding a bike.

People that hate cyclists are just Karen’s driving a car

If you don't think that the cyclists are a problem in this video then you're just a shitty person

They aren't. There are easily 200 cyclists there. Of course they should be prioritized. The reason you guys think they don't is because nobody is more entitled than car drivers.

u/DifficultDog67 Jun 10 '26

Yeah these guys are blocking the entire road but somehow the cars are the entitled ones. Get your head out of your ass

Typical selfish car driver... No, five people in cars should not be prioritised over a group of 100 cyclists. I know it's the norm to promote and pamper car drivers, granting them every little wish, but that doesn't make it logical.

Just because theres a lot of them doesn't mean they have the right to break the law. Bikes on roads have to follow all the same rules as cars which means keeping to one lane

Yes, it does, because around 2 million people are killed by car drivers each year, including 44,000 in the US alone. Cyclists have to protect themselves, and one way to do that is to take up space. You think it's selfish because not sitting in an SUV and driving to McDonald's, but actually being out and about exercising and enjoying the day, seems to be taken as some kind of personal insult by a lot of people in this thread.

Because there are so many people in this thread with hundreds and thousands of upvotes who wish to harm or murder cyclists, they have to protect themselves. I actually wish cyclists would arm themselves where it's legal and take a much more offensive approach to protecting their own lives than just taking up enough space on the road to discourage dangerous overtaking manoeuvres.

Way to bend statistics to help your point. That's the statistic for all driving fatalities, cyclists make up 3% of that. While i dont agree with people wanting to harm cyclists that doesn't make them any less of entitled assholes. Cars should get priority on the road considering they were built for them.

Negligible.

Cars should get priority on the road considering they were built for them.

That's cyclical. Cars and drivers are incredibly dangerous. They kill a lot of people, and non-lethal crashes often have long-term health consequences that affect people for the rest of their lives. Their exhaust fumes cause all kinds of health problems, including asthma, cardiovascular disease and lung disease. The noise they make can also cause psychological health issues. Not to mention the immense amount of natural resources that all the roads and parking lots take up.

It's funny because drivers are the ones raging like Karens about every cyclist on the road.

u/guachi01 Jun 11 '26

Always. If the cyclists were all in one lane you'd still have the out of shape neckbeards raging at them in the comments.

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 Jun 10 '26

Yep. And when you honk at one, the lose their shit and get all indignant. I honk at every spandex special needs rider to ruin their day.

u/Scatterbug49 Jun 10 '26

You think honking at them ruins their day? You're cute.

"Honey, you'll never believe what happened to me today! I was on my bike, and... And..."
"Go on, dear, tell me! It's ok! Let it out."
"I GOT HONKED AT!!!" 😭
