    Love cycling but to be fair that s a little annoying when you have 2 cyclists side by side and you can’t overtake them. The driver was an asshole but i can understand his frustration.

      If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.

        1.5m to overtake one cyclist brings you only partially onto the otherside of the road.

        1.5m to overtake two cyclists astride brings you fully onto the otherside of the road

          Okay, so you only partially hit the oncoming car. Great.

              ??? You expect the other driver to drive on the fucking shoulder because you can’t wait literally half a second to pass a cyclist??

                  Okay, so walk me through this. This is what I got.

                  Guy: You have to wait just as long to pass one cyclist as two abreast.

                  You: I only take up half a lane to pass a lone cyclist.

                  Me: So you have to wait until the lane is clear.

                  You: No, I am a good driver.

                  Me: WTF?!

          exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.

      Sounds like you should talk to your representatives about getting protected bicycle paths in your city so that they’re out of your way

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
