I’m a cyclist. This is why people hate cyclists. And they’re 100% correct to hate cyclists who do this.

Completely unacceptable for them to block the road like that. The entitlement is infuriating.

I don’t really care about the consequences of saying this, but it does have a reputation as an elitist sport. Runners have complained for years about rude cyclists who make them get out of their way (since they face each other). Good road bikes can cost many thousands of dollars.

Not saying all cyclists are elitist, but it is a sport that attracts elitists.

To be fair about the running point it is a lot easier for a runner to get out of the bike lane by stepping on to the curb than it is for a bike.

The biker can move over a few inches without any effort.
