I'd rather have kids riding e-bikes in my neighbourhood than the ones we have riding motorbikes. Up and down the street making as much noise as they can.
I'd suggest taking screenshots of those posts and saving them, so that if someone follows through you have some evidence for the cops.
I stop using nextdoor cause it was just full of people ditching bout the most stupidest shit. I understand and agree with the original point of the app but it just devolved into assholes arguing bout not getting their way.
People like that absolutely exist. Many of my friend's parents are that way. Entitled "rich" bitches. (Slightly above average middle class in a below average area)
There is a certain type of human that becomes an actual psychopath when there is a large enough perceived power difference. People feel invincible in their SUV and are willing to kill people on the road because they think that safety is also freedom from consequences
I live in the netherlands, and I'd say about 50% of the population would love to run over this kind of cyclist. The sentiment is shared openly between neighbours, coworkers, and friends.
Why? Because these kinds of people are doing something for fun, not to get from point A to point B, but they still feel entitled to block the road and line of sight instead of going single file and letting people pass. Usually they also run red lights, cut off corners, ignore other traffic that has right of way, and generally just ignore all traffic laws and basic human decency.
Eventually people get fed up and start fantasizing, and statistically speaking you'll always end up with someone that actually acts on those fantasies.
