Why do car drivers hate cyclists so much?

>Be me
>Driving on 80kph road
>3 lanes, large amounts of traffic, peak hour
>Some old cyclist is going maybe 8kph max and taking up a whole lane
>Can't even stick to the side of the lane, it has to be dead in the middle

How could we not be upset? Plus a bunch of cyclists killed an old guy near me a while ago.

Eurofag here.
Is it legal to ride a bike on the sidewalk in burgerland? Where I live it's not.

On a sidenote you cant ride a bike on the road if it is a bikepath next to it.

>I still have my old walmart mountain bike. It's fine.

100% correct attitude here. My parents brought me a cheap bike as a teen. It was an awesome present then, and it still is now. I think it cost them like $80, but it's served me well and still does.


Absolutely no reason to spend upwards of 1k on a carbon fiber bike for me.

They're hated in Australia too. I think it's because when bike lanes aren't a thing, you have a slow vehicle owned by some old rich prick taking up a whole lane of traffic and making everything needlessly difficult.

fucking this
>town and its neighbors spend loads of money to build some of the best bike trails in existence
>fenced, bordering the woods or riding through them
>perfectly safe, beautiful scenarios
>old farts keep buying spandex and 3000€ road racing bikes
>ride on road because muh tour de france LARP
>MOSTLY RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE
>MOSTLY SIDE BY SIDE
>WITH THE BEST GODDAMN FUCKING BIKE ROADS IN THE GALAXY ONE METER TO THE LEFT
ONE DAY I'M GOING TO BUY AN OLD BENZ AND USE THE HOOD ORNAMENT AS A TARGETING RETICLE, GOING RED FUCKING BARON ON THESE DIPSHITS

You can't here but that doesn't stop them

wtf kind of ghetto do you live in

I live in an OK area, but this was in an adjacent one. It's very well to do, and the guys just ran down some old dude crossing the road who had right of way. But because they were rich and white they got off.


Caused a lot of outrage since it shows they have a criminal disregard for road rules.

it's assholes like that who should be deported to war-torn countries

>hate cyclists

Nah. The #1 source of the miles on my car is travelling to access better MTB trails.

>hate roadies

much better
