    we have lots of bicycle traffic in my city. people behave the same way on bikes as they do on cars.

    every single day I bike, someone is going the wrong way, screaming at other people, texting/phoning, cutting corners, running lights/signs, and slamming into peds/cars/cyclists. typically at least 2-3 times per day I commute to work I see these things. it’s just as bad as shitty drivers doing the same things. but it’s not like anyone is ticketing anyone for being a law-breaking shithead anymore in 2026.

    being a on a bike doesn’t prevent you from being a ignorant entitled asshole, but it gives a lot of ignorant entitled assholes victim complexes they use to justify their shitty behavior and feel like they can never be at fault. seen a cyclist blow a light, slam into a car, and then proceed to assault/threaten the driver, and bike off. then they are probably on social media screaming about how a car came out of no where and tried to kill them…
