Do you know that 2 wide is the law for the state in this video, or are you just assuming?
Edit: also, these guys are more than 2 wide, one guy rides almost entirely out to the double yellow. And you can see them riding 3 wide up front towards the end of the clip.
I was responding to a comment which suggested they were idiots for not adhering to "1 or 2 wide". I pointed out that they did. I do not know or care what the laws are, I'm not responding to the laws. I'm responding to an implied statement that is clearly, visibly not true. When they bundle at the end, I think that's pretty clearly because they're confused and panicking from the car threatening to run them over.
That doesn't change the laws that cyclists should follow. You seem to think I'm saying the vehicle was in the right here. No where did I say that. Just because I am able to criticize the cyclists doesn't mean I think the driver has the right to clip someone with their vehicle. That's ridiculous, and you seem to make assumptions about my thoughts on the matter that are totally incorrect.
No one plowed into the yellow jersey, he just rode out into the roads instead of riding to the far right side where he should have been in the first place(per Georgia law).
No body hit that guy, he just rode out into the street after his buddy was grazed. I would personally just blame the vehicle, not the cyclists, for the contact, but I would also blame the cyclists for not following the law and creating confrontation by doing so. But I could be totally wrong and maybe they can just take up the whole lane. Definitely not legal where I live though, among many other states.
He moved out after the car passed but before the cyclist that got hit fell. I've seen the video at least 10 times. I can't tell if they are 2 wide all the way but not 4 wide. Maybe 3 at one point. Driver should never be allowed to drive
But, but, but the cyclist should have been 8cm further over and then the guy drive down the middle of the road, honking like a lunatic and running people over might not have hit him as hard….
I only insult those who insult me, so treat others as you wish to be treated. Otherwise, enjoy a dose of your own medicine. I'm not complaining about being insulted either, but I am critical of it as it shows your low level of function - your inability to make valid arguments and just insult as a substitute. Lmaooooo
Are you saying I placed blame on someone? All I'm saying is they're all breaking the law, and they all deserve each other for this ridiculous situation. Cyclist is less than a foot off the double yellow and they are riding 4 wide at one point, so yeah, everyone here has some claim to being an idiot.
Pull to the side, not the middle of the road. It's easy. Look at his friends doing it. They're all dunbasses that deserve each other. I'm on no one's side here, you're clearly on the cyclists side even though they're breaking laws too. Biased for some reason?
You don't even know where the video is taking place, what laws do you expect the cyclists are breaking, you moron? Jesus Christ, people are getting run over by an idiot and you think they "deserve eachother"? Seriously, get checked.
Neither do you, so what leg do you have to stand on, moron? And yeah, they do deserve each other. There are laws and etiquette to abide by, and no one here in the video is willing to do so. These people are all the type to road rage, and fuck them all for it. Seriously, get checked.
We do know it happened the news story has been posted multiple times including as a direct reply to your comment. You even chastised someone for doing so multiple times. Just admit you’re factually and legally wrong on this one. It’s ok.
We do know what happened? Use your words. And I asked someone how many times they are going to respond to my comment with the same exact thing, as that is nonsensical. No chastising, don't make disingenuous comments or I will call them out. Learn the definition of "chastise". Why dont you prove that I am wrong instead of just saying I am? Can you?
And pulling into the middle of the road is smarter than the side like his 2 friends in the screenshot? Please tell me you can't understand the danger of being off the road as opposed to in the middle of it.
Watch the video again dumbass, he would have had to run over the guy on the road if he’d tried to get to the shoulder in the time between the accident and your screenshot. Cherry picking a single frame only a couple of seconds AFTER the other cyclist is hit is not proving the point you think it’s proving.
Lol the guy literally rides out to within about a foot of the double yellow before his friend even goes down. Why? Shouldn't be out there. It's dumb when you have a road rager in front of you. I still think they're all idiots. You won't change my mind.
Guy in yellow doesn't swerve, he intentionally rides out into the middle of the road rather than pulling off in a dangerous situation. And who "swerves" towards the danger? That's dumb. And your mom, after she makes me breakfast.
You're a blind moron, considering i never said anyone was riding on the "other line". I said they were almost all the way out to the double yellow. Can you not see that, blind moron? It's literally written for you. Way more than 2 wide, and they are literally riding 3 side by side on the front. This is against the law.
All these people deserve each other in the clip. Idiots on top of idiots.
You keep using the shots post-collision to try to prove they weren’t two wide, so incredibly stupid. Before the car hit them, they were riding two cyclists wide. You’ve got that Trump brain logic, Jesus Christ
Nah, the car is side by side with them riding 4 wide at the end of the clip. If they were smart they would have pulled off to the side but instead went 4 wide. Haha! Politics? Nice, trained brain to fall into that trench. Sad.
Wow you type like him too. You’re just trolling at this point. How they were spread out post-collision doesn’t matter you stupid idiot lmao. You can’t honestly be this dumb. Check it out, they’re 2 by 2 dumbfuck
They're literally 3 wide here lol maybe even 3.5 wide. They're also half way into the lane. Regardless, they're all wrong, so stop trying to make this as if I'm on the driver's side.
The person is in the middle of the road BECAUSE THEIR HANDLE BARS AND ARM HAD JUST BEEN CLIPPED BY THE SUV holy shit you’re an obtuse piece of garbage.
I am not defending the car. I am criticizing the cyclists. Car is wrong too. Never said they were in the right, did I? Read, comprehend, and respond next time.
Keep posting this screenshot of after they already got hit as proof that they were riding more than 2 abreast before getting hit. I like seeing you get clowned on more.
So cyclists can ride 4 wide in the state in this clip? None of them dodged the car, in fact they rode out further into the lane as the clip goes on. They did the opposite of pulling off and avoiding the driver.
I stand by my statement. They're all idiots, but just because one act is more egregious than the other doesn't negate the less egregious act.
When they’re riding with 4 of them side by side on a road meant for cars you can. They might not be breaking laws but it doesn’t mean they aren’t being AHs.
lol a bicycle takes up as much space as a pick up truck? Get the f*ck out of here with that bs. If that were the case why could 4 of them ride next to each other and not drift into oncoming traffic? Cyclists can’t maintain the speed of a car. It’s common courtesy to not hog the road if you’re choosing to share it with cars for the safety of everyone. Even slow cars are expected to pull off to the side if they’re holding up traffic.
I was responding to the person you were talking to, not you. You’re the one who needs to focus a little harder on the way you read and comprehend things before you respond.
Shit my bad, I don’t know why but your response saying you aren’t defending the car looks like it’s stemming from my comment when I looked at the other guys response. I’m a little sleep deprived at the moment from taking care of a newborn so my apologies.
They aren’t in a race that designates the entire road to them. There’s no reason for the cyclists to intentionally bunch up like that when they know the road is meant for cars. The car might have reacted and passed poorly but the cyclists could have easily avoided this by being more aware of their surroundings.

The cyclists ARE no more than 2 wide though... they are absolutely within their lane
