PSA: Treat cyclists like cars

If it happens on a daily basis, where is it that you are driving? In order to be delayed by 1 minute, you (normal speed 60km/h) would have to be stuck behind a cyclist (30km/h) for an entire kilometer, I find it hard to believe that you experience more than a minute or two delay even when driving in the most popular cycling places in the city.

You are advocating cyclists ride on peoples private property to avoid causing you inconvenience? There also isn't always grass or dirt next to the sidewalk. There are also doors that open on storefronts, light poles, and various other obstructions.

Bike lanes exist because cyclists on sidewalks are dangerous, and to make cycling safer because motorists like you with no respect exist.

None of the cyclists are asking you not to use the public infrastructure that all of our taxes paid for. What makes you think you have the right to tell others not to use roadways?
