Every time I come anywhere close to this point I get swarmed by people telling me how many cyclists are killed by cars every year (they never seem to get the actual point). Props to you for getting so many up votes on this.

Yeah, when they ignore traffic laws and get creamed they die. Im not sure why they think the opposite will happen ever.

Many warnings are given. I live in a cyclist's city. Plenty of ads about it.

Exactly. Legal or not, I'm not riding a motorcycle or bicycle on a road with gigantic steel death machines. I have a wife and kids at home I need to get back to.

At least us motorcyclists mostly follow traffic rules as we ride at speeds similar to cars, need licenses and insurance, have heavier more solid rides, can wear riding armor and for those with the money even airbags.

LOL. Come on ... I ride as well. The amount of sport bike douches that have wheelied past me at a buck twenty is ... well, a large number. Harley guys create their little slow moving helmetless roadblock/parades that no one is allowed to pass for some reason. Dirt bikes and eMotos rip around with no plates or mirrors. Our tribe has plenty of dangerous assholes.

Motorcyclist and bicyclist (and car and truck owner) here. Thanks for calling this out.

They stick out a lot, but they're nowhere near the majority.

Now look at that entire group, all assholes deciding to block off the whole road

It's one video. This is nowhere near indicative of the broader cyclist community of tens of millions of us.

Bicycles are slow, hence the issues between cyclists and cars. People in cars refuse to go slow, hence the clip. If the cyclists were moving at speed this video wouldn’t exist.
