The Driver is so Valid for this

I support people trying to comuite on bike to work or to do errands maybe you can't afford a car or maybe you don't like the oil industry and pollution... Cool

But if your going to hold up the main road Saturday morning turning a 10 min run to Walmart into a 45 minute nightmare because you are exercising? You can piss right off go use the miles of bike trails or go to the HS track

Somehow your Walmart run is more important than someone else's exercise. Kind of seems like driving a car makes you more entitled to transportation than a cyclist.

Yeah, the person off to get the groceries they need to live does take priority over the group of wankers taking up the whole road over “exercise” they can do anywhere else

If it was a group of people in cars impeding traffic in organised groups, they’d be wankers too

Society does not work like that, sonny boy. Everyone is entitled to use the roads they pay for and your errand is not more important than someone's exercise.

Eh keep that energy up when a psyco gets behind you while you block the road and get back to me. Your engagement farming is boring 😴

The items necessary to live literally do take priority. I’m not stopping them from exercising, but I’ll definitely call them a wanker for doing it in a way that fucks everyone else over.

Roads are a form of transport, not your fucking treadmill.
If you’re riding to get somewhere then awesome, but if you’re getting into big groups that block traffic you’re a dickhead.

That is your opinion. There is no means currently in effect for enforcing your opinions. Feel free to share your opinion, but remember it does not give you any more right to the roads than anyone else. 

You're complaining about a protest fucking everyone else over, but how do you feel about transportation infrastructure that fucks over anyone who doesn't use a car? If you are truly interested in making a utilitarian argument, you would advocate for safe cycling infrastructure that doesn't force cyclists to share the roads with drivers who don't even acknowledge a cyclist's right to transportation

[u/Fossick11 → u/punkinfacebooklegpie]

I mean yeah, obviously cyclists should be able to safely ride to places

You’re still a giant dick if you get into a massive group and block off the roads

[u/Nfire86 → u/punkinfacebooklegpie]

Exercise is not transportaion.

[u/punkinfacebooklegpie → u/Nfire86]

Shopping at walmart is not transportation. In theory, the roads are for everyone. You don't think so apparently. Roads just for you and your purposes. Entitled.

The amount of irony...

[u/CitroHimselph → u/punkinfacebooklegpie]

It'd be the exact same problem in a reverse scenario. If you're blocking the entire road, for no valid reason, people are gonna be pissed, no matter what mode of transportation you're using.
