You'd think white car would be a fan of separated bike lanes...

As a cyclist, two people cycling side by side while other vehicles are waiting to pass is a bit of a dick move tbh.

Not illegal, and nothing compared to the shit that drivers do to cyclists, but still a bit of a dick move.

Great image, however slightly wrong. In some countries car pictured should be a huge fucking truck which people use to go and buy Starbucks because of deadly combination of ego issues and laziness.

I wish the diagram would have put little fart clouds labeled 'Methane' behind the bicyclists.

What I'm trying to say is that I crop dust a lot when I bike.

You left out the part where the ones on the bikes are going the fraction of the speed

Why state a car's length in millimeters? Why state any length over a meter in millimeters?

Why doesn't the world use the decimeter? I don't think I've ever seen it used anywhere.

So people saying the bikes side by side are a dick move are implying that you have more right to the road because you're driving a car?

Generally speaking, to do an overtake, a car needs to leave the lane completely, so it doesn't matter whether it's one or two bikes.

How I wish I lived in a part lf the world built and designed for bycicles or proper public transit.

Missed the part where the people in the car are obese.

It also works fine with just one person in the car.

I love this sub so much. It's as if confidently incorrect had a weird little clone with just the right mix of sass, poorly thought out arguments, and environmental awareness to vex both cyclists and drivers in equal amounts.

Oh gosh, metric that is too confusing. Can you convert it into units we can all understand like yards, feet, inches

/s

As a usual biker, i say bikers riding like this why others want to overtake them (even other bikers), are jerks. Same for pedestrians, and everyone...

i was like, why is an ostrich riding a bike? and why are the people at the back not happier with it?

please, it clearly not an issue when the cyclists are sharing one lane.

if two cars were driving in tandem then it would be a better example.

Where have you ever heard car drivers say something like this? Do you guys just make up fake arguments to have with yourselves?

That car must have failed its smog check

I just get anxious that one of us would make a sudden turn and we both will fall down. I just choose to bike in a straight line.

What is the point of this post? What is it trying to tell?

I won't lie, I'm split on this one. If I'm in a city and the speed limit is 25 and they are going 15, I'm patient behind them. The next traffic light is going to slow me down more than a pair of bikes. If I'm somewhere rural, the speed limit is over 50, and im on a road that sees about 10 cars an hour, yes you have the right of way, but it feels really inconsiderate not to move over for a couple seconds to let someone pass.

Only assholes drive white cars.

As much as I hate cars...

Cars these days mostly spew carbon dioxide and water vapour, two items conspicuously missing from that list.

What "fact" is this trying to show?

The amount of time the square area of a car occupies a given square area of road for the distance travelled and people carried is a fraction of that used by cyclists.

I'm all for this com making good arguments, I do truly believe change is needed with regards to many issues, social and environmental.

By the arguments that come up here do nothing but show this place to be a circle jerk for some truly gifted morons.

Serious question... Are you lot taking the piss or do you really believe the rubbish that gets pushed here?

This sub is pointless until it can provide a solution to having to get somewhere 30 miles from here when it's 10 below outside for most of the winter.

Dont give me that it's not always 10 below excuse. It is often 10 below or lower for long stretches in the north. Biking is simply not viable or practical.

Look at this example. Looks like it's 80 and sunny with the top down on a convertible and everyone in summer clothes.

Everyone doesn't live in Arizona, kar Karen.

The picture doesn't account for the fact that in many places you have to give 3 feet when overtaking cyclists. Not saying that everyone does that but the graphic should show an extra three feet on either side of the cyclists if we want to represent how much space they are actually occupying

Right cuz cyclists are totally paying the road fees to use keep the road maintained just as much as the motorists do. What was it called? Ah yes. Registration

Fuck both groups
