    Please explain exactly what you mean by “full blown road dictators”, and clearly detail how it is different from “use the road in a completely legal manner in ways trying to keep yourself and others from getting run over by the many car drivers with a sense of entitlement to the road”.

      As a cyclist, I’d have to guess “riding two abreast when there’s a car behind you.”

        I honestly don’t understand what you’re trying to say, but then again I’m stoned out of my gourd.

        Could you rephrase it so an idiot would understand?

          They’re saying that cars are bigger and stronger than bikes, which makes them able to bully cars, which makes them feel entitled to do so. Because they then feel entitled to the road, they start calling cyclists “dictators” when they are merely using the road.

          It’s a shockingly accurate description of behaviour that cyclists face on a daily basis, with drivers threatening their lives for no reason more than that the drivers feel entitled to do so.

            No, I think it’s something about dictating the speed but the cars can pass unless the bikers are deliberately blocking the drive by.

            I don’t get it.
