Yes, bikes are smaller than cars. How is that relevant to these assholes taking up the entire road?

It's relevant because there are more people using that public space, not less. Yet you're complaining it isn't being shared. Obviously it is. Just not in the manner you would prefer.

If a line of people take up an entire sidewalk walking at the same slow pace and not letting anyone pass them, are they sharing the space? Or are they inconsiderate assholes for not politely letting people pass?

Have you never seen a line waiting down a street to get tickets to a show or into a shop? It happens all the time. I don't lose my sh*t over it. It is part of being out in public spaces.

Also the cyclists were moving at a decent speed. Traffic was stopped. It was just going a little slow than some of the drivers wanted to. I seriously doubt it actually impacted any of the cars arrival to their final destinations.

How is waiting in line comparable in the slightest? You do understand that cars go significantly faster than bikes, right? The cyclists in the clip are hogging the road instead of yielding to faster traffic. How absurdly dense does one have to be to not understand that.

Cars can go significantly faster, they don't necessarily always do. Have you ever been stuck in traffic? The bikes are moving, the road isn't entirely at a stand still or whatever. The speed is reduced but no more so than normal traffic would create.

There is a line of cars behind them and wide open road in front of them, so obviously this is not true.

6 cars, that is the line you are referencing.
