What bike lane

Imagine if social media encouraged violence against driver the way it encourages violence against cyclists.

I wouldn’t be in the road if there were any bike lanes

I prefer dedicated bike paths but there are not enough of them in Charlotte

The middle of the road is right in the centre, between both directions.
They mean lane, but they know fuck all

It’s almost as if bicycles are vehicles unless they don’t want them to be.

Ah yes you mean the glass strewn car door lane

I usually don’t bother engaging because nobody actually wants to have a good-faith discussion in the comments section of a meme.
But it is definitely a little disturbing how hating cyclists seems to have become a meme in itself. Like, I’m just trying to get some exercise and fresh air without dying, man

Bike lanes are a cop out. They’re more dangerous and don’t get maintained. They slap some paint down and say, “good luck chump.”

My first thought is “who is this @-hole and why the Eff are they in my feed”. Then I go through and take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that doesn’t come up again. Sometimes, for spice and future-proofing, I will go through and block some of the particularly vile or obviously bottish commenters too.
By now my social media feeds are pretty tight so this sort of brain-rot is rarer for me, but it circulates like email forwards of the late 90s.

Bike Lane? Oh you mean this bit covered in pedestrians, broken glass and dog shit.
LastHumanFamily on
I get it. Sure this opinion is shared by a lot of jagoff edge lords but the fact is that a lot of bike lanes are square in the door zone, are full of broken glass or are endlessly stumbled into by pedestrians staring at their phones. We can’t be the only ones doing their part.

“I’m an asshole who only thinks about my needs and doesn’t GAF about much else. Allow me to explain…”
It depends on my mood and the tone of the poster. Sometimes I’ll respond, but it’s usually because I want to harm my own wellbeing.

Depends. The reason I love my cyclocross so much is that it is not a specialized sports equipment piece which can only be ridden on perfect roads. What the meme seems to refer to is road bikers who do not ride on bike lanes…. I can see a certain point to that meme. Now let the downvotes rain on me.

I know I’m gonna get downvoted, but I actually thought this was kind of funny the first time I saw it.

Around here they started adding trenches for nat gas lines. That was where i rode. Now i can either ride of gravel and garbage on the side of the road, the bumpy trench, or the middle of the road.

More like “No thanks, I’ve seen what you do with your bike lanes…” (trash, parked cars, grates with the holes parallel to the direction of travel…)

I guarantee the bike lane these people are referring to is the shoulder.

Oh you mean that 1km section that has cars turning into it and tree roots destroying it and that turns into… “the fucking road” again? ah yeah that? I’ll pass
But i’ll def use it with my kid!

Absolutely stupid discussion as there are no bikers vs car drivers. Majority of the bikers do drive a car.

I use cycle lanes when on my push bike
TowerReversed on
i was here before they installed their half-assed bike lanes, and until they ain’t halfassed and full of road debris and commercial vendor junk, i’ma stay right where i’ve always been. đź’…
bike lanes are conveniences for motorists. the totally indifferent and deeply unserious design of them tells you everything you need to know.

Stuff like this is usually on FB, boomers and ignorant slack jaws infest FB, that’s why I deleted my account years ago.

I’ve now resorted to asking them to yell louder. If they can’t wait for me to race 20mph around the crack in the road that I’m avoiding, then they shouldn’t be in my bike lane either. soooo fuck em.

Every lane is a bike lane.
