Lol. I’m pretty sure my local police have their inbox set to auto delete all driving complaints.
Angry driving can make one quite blunt
Enough to rage over a mundane stunt
At bicyclists abreast
a roar rose in his chest
SINGLE FILE YOU TWO-WHEELED CUN–
Skeleton Warriors!
This is a masterpiece. You should publish.
so did you “bare” this in mind, then?
When I go for a bike ride with my SO we always ride side by side on streets that have a posted limit at or below 40kmh.
We usually only ride side by side on residential streets. Occasionally we get someone driving too close to us when passing or shouting out their windows saying single file in the same way.
Its like going for a walk, we would not walk in a single file, neither would we sit in a car in single file.

That’s technically illegal here, but I mostly only see cops violating it. I think the larger cycling groups go for rural roads.

Love cycling but to be fair that s a little annoying when you have 2 cyclists side by side and you can’t overtake them. The driver was an asshole but i can understand his frustration.
If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.
1.5m to overtake one cyclist brings you only partially onto the otherside of the road.
1.5m to overtake two cyclists astride brings you fully onto the otherside of the road
exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.
Okay, so you only partially hit the oncoming car. Great.
depends how deliberately badly you’re both driving I suppose
??? You expect the other driver to drive on the fucking shoulder because you can’t wait literally half a second to pass a cyclist??
Okay, so walk me through this. This is what I got.
Guy: You have to wait just as long to pass one cyclist as two abreast.
You: I only take up half a lane to pass a lone cyclist.
Me: So you have to wait until the lane is clear.
You: No, I am a good driver.
Me: WTF?!

@mondoman712 @felykiosa it depends a little onthe road in question, there are roads with a sinple lane wide enough that a single file of cyclists are passable without crossing into oncoming traffic, but two abreast isn’t.
But we all know this isn’t what happened here. Driver just wanted to let his priveledge show.
if there isnt enough space maybe just wait a bit untill there is, is getting to the next stop light faster so u can spend more time waiting there rally that fucking important.
I live in rural area the next stop is in 5km , just said that it is annoying when two cyclist are side by side that all.
Sounds like you should talk to your representatives about getting protected bicycle paths in your city so that they’re out of your way
Should one sympathise with car-supremacists?
Not a single one of you thought to consider why the hell an official letter from the police would write verbatim expletive quotes in the style of a tumblr teenager instead of simply writing that there was a verbal altercation. Complete lack of critical thinking or a total suspension of disbelief.
Or the fact that it doesn’t need to be real because 1. It’s still funny and 2. We all know that the incident has happened somewhere, because shit like this happens so often.
How are some cyclist comfortable with driving side by side? I was always anxious when that happened, can’t swifel out and nothing and if you fall because of that, the others fall too.
I mean, they’re probably not touching handlebars when riding side by side.
Yeah, cauase touching handlebars would be gay.
“bare”?
