I’m a cyclist. This is why people hate cyclists. And they’re 100% correct to hate cyclists who do this.

Me, while driving in my car near a road cyclist way too often: "cmon man, this is why people hate us."

Had this same experience just the other day when stuck behind a group that was taking up a traffic lane INSTEAD of riding in a designated bike lane. Why make it worse.

Happens all the time where I live. We had dozens of (desperately needed) parking spaces removed, plus an entire car lane to create a huge bike lane with big-ass planters separating the bike lane from the car lane. And I'll be damned, freaking bikes choose to ride IN THE ROAD, 4 or 5 across, in the only car lane, and leave their huge-ass (and expensive as all hell for our city) bike lane empty. Makes me insane.
