Today I saw a guy biking in the car lane the wrong way at a four-way intersection. An oncoming car honked and the biker gave him the finger and continued along his jolly way. It was... Weird.

Edit: to clarify, I'm pro-bikes, just anti-this-guy.

See the thing is, cars in a city take less precedence than biking, so if it makes sense to cross a double line into oncoming at a 4 way going slow (which it often does - you can wait unsafely amongst a throng of car line if you want though), the car can fuck right off. It’s quite satisfying actually, you should try it.

Literally who gives a single fuck about some idiot trapesing through in their car. Nah you can defer to everyone around you because you’re dead last on the totem poll after the city crews and garbage trucks that are of more importance!

It’s kind of comical to see the car addicts get all up in arms about stuff like this. It’s such a non city mindset, like where do these people come from? Have they even been to other cities? States? Countries?

Americans are really funny when it comes to how they just cannot handle it when someone “gets ahead” by “breaking” the “rules” 😂

Ohhhh nooo the poor Volvo got angry because the biker crossed the line ohhh nooooo! Won’t someone think of what could happen if the paint job got scratched? Oh noooo the horror! What a joke, pure nannyism
