When this person filmed a video (we’re hoping from the passenger seat) and decided to share it online, on the self-explanatory Reddit page titled\u00a0‘mildly\u00a0infuriating’, they probably expected a few replies in support of their impatience.<\/p>\n
Cyclist on a busy road<\/a> However, refreshingly (considering this is the internet we’re talking about) the thread turned into something of an own goal for the\u00a0filmer\u00a0as other Reddit users suggested there was only one infuriating behaviour on display here… and it didn’t involve having the nerve to ride\u00a0a bike perfectly legally on a road.<\/p>\n “It is pretty infuriating not to build safe cycling infrastructure and proper shoulders on roads,” the top comment suggested.<\/p>\n “Omg a legal road user using a road in a legal manner! How infuriating,” another top reply suggested.<\/p>\n Some concluded the person filming must just be “stuck inside their car and feeling mildly jealous towards someone enjoying the fresh air”. Predictably, someone did suggest that the rider was not riding legally as they were “impeding the normal flow of traffic” and “need to yield”, however others quickly pointed out that particular\u00a0law in the US “is more complicated than you think it is”.<\/p>\n “He’s going up a hill. That’s the main reason a line is forming at all, the drivers are careful because they can’t evaluate opposing traffic. Once they’re past the hill, they can overtake him easily, he’s staying on the far right side.\u00a0He can’t stop every time time there is a driver behind him,” someone else suggested.<\/p>\n Other helpful advice to the ‘mildly infuriated’ person filming included, “If this infuriates you, then you don’t understand how the roadways work.”<\/p>\n Oh, and the personal favourite: “Have you considered safely passing him like everyone else is doing?”<\/p>\n Maybe there is hope for cycling-related discourse on the internet after all…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When this person filmed a video (we’re hoping from the passenger seat) and decided to share it online,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281470,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-281469","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
