You bet your ass it's car propaganda. Now get out the way, I left on time and you're making me late.

Maybe build infrastructure that gets people off the road so you can get to work on time.
Last I checked a bike takes up less space than a car.
Infrastructure isn’t the entirety of the problem. My city is a dense populated core surrounded by a sprawl of suburbs and office parks—tons of people live in the city and commute out to the suburbs for office work. The office areas are too spread out for a transit system to service (we have a decent commuter network, but you’re lucky if your office is close enough to it), so it’s pretty much drive or bust.
That's literally all an infrastructure (and infrastructure planning) problem. Designers planned for car-centric infrastructure, so that's what we got. Sprawl begets sprawl; spreading out destinations means you need more pipes/sewage/electrical/roadway to reach each destination, and roadways are space-inefficient, so the problem compounds.
Fuck cars people: "demolish your city and suburbs and build a bike path, it takes 10 minutes and will save you gas money"
In the town nearest to me there are bike lanes all over and these dickheads still feel the need to get into traffic lanes and fuck up the flow whilst obeying no traffic laws. Fuck cyclists. Keep your toys out of cars' way.
Your ability to violently catapult literal tons of metal and plastic has no weight on their right to use the road. Keep your angry toys out of cyclists way.
Wow, that's certainly a take...
Next time, take take a moment and think from their perspective. Do they want to be in the lane with cars? No! That's scary! So why are they there? Ideas:
cars parked in the bike lane - very common in my area
cars passing uncomfortably close and not giving the required 3'/1m space
cars consistently nosing into the bike lane from parking lots
And BTW, the law in most places state that bikes follow the same laws as cars, they just need to stay to the right of the roadway (i.e. the part before the bike lane). That means they're entitled to be in that right lane if they feel it's safer than the bike lane.
I agree. In my country, a while ago the government passed a law mandating that cyclists use the same lanes and road laws used by motorists where there are no bike lanes. I can't stress enough how fucking stupid it is to expect this and to comply with this.
It's the governments' responsibility to build infrastructure for the public to travel. Until they have three tiers of pathing everywhere, cyclists should use the pedestrian paths.
ok lead boomer
I'm 39.
Boomer is a state of mind now.
That's like grandpa age
The funniest part about this is I’m constantly surrounded by cunts on my commute to work but none of them are on bikes.
Being a cunt isn’t exclusive to your chosen vehicle.
TIL 39 is boomer age.
Boomer is a vibe and you are extremely advanced
Look Henry, I know Charlene left you and it’s been hard for you since the divorce. I hope your masturbating habits got better. You know your weak pelvis floor and 8 seconds intercourse couldn’t satisfy her anymore. Nobody likes a premature ejaculator. But you’d be happy to know she now found a new love with a cyclist who can pound her ass all night. Maybe you can do a little joyride to the McDonald to celebrate, fatzo
Go seek therapy
I make other drivers late just by driving the speed limit.
Why does it have to be car propaganda? I only walk or use public transport and still hate them.
Aww, man... I want a recumbent tricycle.
I mean you can double post if you want, it's not going to make what you said be anything close to reality. But you seem very well adjusted.
I'll admit, this is the first post to make me legitimately laugh on c/funny.
Now I'm gonna take my bike and buy a crowbar. You never know when one of these idiots needs some face modelling.
Now now, let's not be too hasty looks at top right
Keep your eyes on the road bud.
Nah cyclists are basically road vegans.
There is a reason why cyclist starts with c.
The British using Latin, Greek and French as Lego to build their language?
