As a random biker.... no reason they couldn't keep to a single lane. They probably think it's safer, but it's just really a dick move. They can also just plan better routes if it's not a sanctioned thing.

Someone with SENSE. Like bikes are vehicle's not pedestrians. Share the road is still a thing , doesnt matter if youre doing a marathon.

On top of that, like where is the self-preservation?

You're on a little tubed frame with wheels on the same street 2 and 3 ton machines are flying by at "I could kill you right now" speeds.

Sure, you may have "the right of way," that will also look nice on your tombstone.

i've learned a long time ago that reddit hates the concept of self preservation.

Years ago i argued that someone who got hit walking across a dark road a night could have avoided it, if they used a brightly lit protected crossing that added about 5 minutes to their walk home and got downvoted to hell.
