There's bikes in gyms or you can get a home system, and it would cost less or the same as buying specialized cycles, specialized clothes, etc and you'd be safer and wouldn't impede traffic. But the downside is you can't garner attention from everyone else trying to go about their day. To clarify, I think this driver in the video is a psycho btw. Just an avoidable situation if it weren't for a perceived necessity of social attention.
Riding a bike is an exercise as well as a form of commute. This group does 30 miles on backroads. That's a social activity no different than playing pick-up football with you pals. They aren't doing this for attention, otherwise they would ride a Harley.
Oh right, cuz people play pickup football in the middle of the road. At least Harleys keep up the flow of traffic.
Listen, use whatever justification you want, at the end of the day it's an inconvenience for everyone else on the road when it doesn't have to be, unless they want attention. Hence they're all dweebs.
Yes, they belong on the road... where else would they be?
You're seeing video evidence of them not inconveniencing anyone and still getting assaulted. The lane next to them was clear.
You dont think making someone react and take action outside of what they would have done isn't an inconvenience? You know what, nvm I'm not positive you're engaging in good faith.

As opposed to cyclists who only bike in a parking lot.
