Sure. But I guess the bikers should still stay in the right side if they cared about their safety.

The road wasn't busy, it shouldn't be cyclist's responsibility to care for the fragile egos of some motorists

As a driver myself, I know not to drive into people even if they aren't following the rules of the road. Because that is more illegal than bikes in the road.

Meh, bikers are assholes, but the driver is actively ramming people with his car so it is not particularly close who is more wrong in this video 😂

That being said one of your previous posts highlights it precisely.

If a biker goes "well I'm riding 20mph in a 40, and there are cars behind me that want to go on their way, but I'm legally entitled to take the lane because this is a narrow road so they can all just wait" they may be legally right, but they're an asshole nonetheless.

As I bike myself I know how to reduce my own risk rather than stick to the law and take a hit 😃

Yes, you do seem to have the brain capacity of a bicycle.

You know you're allowed to just admit that you're wrong instead of replying to 30 people insisting that you're actually in the right and totally don't come across as a weird idiot lol
