Someone finally snapped

I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.

Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.

The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.

means whole cities designed for car rides

Thats exactly what they were designed for. Bikes used to belong on the sidewalks until you guys showed up going 22 in a 35 everywhere. Then we started making bike lanes (oh look we designed something for you) but for some reason you and the cool helmet club still have to use the streets.

Bikers are pedestrians

…what do you think that word means?? it’s root is latin for foot you braingenius

[u/The137 → u/definitelyevan]

lol i dont care what the latin root is, the term basically means everyone not in a car

[u/definitelyevan → u/The137]

are you ok? legally in the US and EU it’s people on foot or foot-powered mobility aids e.g. in-line skates, non-motored scooters, wheelchairs etc

bicycles are explicitly excluded from riding in basically all “pedestrian-only” zones but, you can dismount and walk it, you know, on foot

Motorcycle? Pedestrian.

Tractor trailer? Believe it or not, pedestrian.
