Examples of cyclists acting like jerks, cause apparently they need reminding.
A place to share when members of the cyclists (AKA spandex mafia, AKA cycle-paths, AKA bikeholes) doing jerk-ish things
They have lots of places they gather to tell themselves how superior they are. This sub is for the rest of us.

Hello
I read somewhere that cycling helps you last longer in bed. Has anyone noticed any changes
I hate Chicago cyclist
Going uphill on an S-bend on a country road single lane three cyclists in front of me I’m happy to sit back and not overtake. The three cyclists, however all trying to wave me on as if they can see round a blind bend. So I waited let them cycle up the hill. They got more and more frantic and slower and slower as they kept trying to wave me on. At the top of the hill, the one in front was waving furiously, just at that point a big 4x4 was coming the other way with a trailer. Had I overtaken I would’ve had an accident. As the road went back to 2 lanes and there was a straight section that I could clearly see it was a good overtaking point I slowly went past and I got abuse from the cyclist telling me that he could see round corners. I rolled down the window and told him to shut up and not do that again. More hand gestures as I drove away. Charming.
Pack watch 🚬
The bike lane is literally 3 metres on the right of her 😒
I rented a U-Haul trailer and was 10 miles into a 300 mile trip to take my kids furniture off to college for them. On a 2 lane country road with a 55 mile per hour speed limit, I got behind a group of cyclists that would not get over to the side to let me safely pass them. There were a few streets that had turn lanes that they could have gotten into to let me pass them safely, but no, they continued to block the 55 mph road going 15mph. When I honked at them, they flicked me birds I was so pissed off by the time I finally took all of our lives in jeprody and went around them somewhat blindly. I hung them birds. My adrenaline was so elevated that I thought that I could have a heart attack. Later, I found out that there are "share the road " laws that gives them the right to be absolutely rude to all others who use the roads. Anyone that "harrasses" them are in violation of the law. Who are the politicians that voted for this?
Group of cyclists spinning around the bough or hood lately. All dressed up in Helmets and holding up traffic in my neighborhood. Scaring all the children and creeping out the women with their middle aged ball bags in shorts.
So I'm driving home on this major road and right before the light for us turned green, this group of like 50 cyclists showed up out of nowhere on the perpendicular street to turn left. At that point, the light for them was probably already yellow and then red of course. But did the red light stop them from continuing to illegally plow through the intersection, of course not. They took up an entire lane before jumping onto the highway (also illegal). If it wasn't for the stopped car in front of me I would've continued on, seeing as we had the green light. I'm not saying I would've purposefully hit anyone but fuck around with a 3,000 lb vehicle on your 12 lb bike if you want to. If you want to be on the road, then you need to follow the rules of the road or suffer the consequences.
There never seem to be traffic cops around when you need them.
