    Never in a million years could understand why somebody in a vehicle, who has but to move their foot a half centimeter in order to accelerate, feels the need to be ahead of all the cyclists and make sure all the rules are obeyed perfectly.

    Really, who gets a fuck if some dude on a bike saves a half second so he doesn’t have to burn off legs getting up to speed again.

    For fuck sakes, I both drive and I cycle, and I’ve never understood.

      This is something I have been also wondering for ages and on top of that they sit in a cabinet shielded from elements in a stable temperature.

      Yet they need to speed up to make the turn 0,5 seconds before the bike passes the crossing while almost killing the bicyclist in the process.

      Insane.

      It’s the combination of entitlement and the socially normalized wielding of a deadly weapon. Imagine if we treated road rage the same way we treat someone mag-dumping an AR15 at people.
