The characteristics of cyclists who promote or create pretexts for bicycle hatred are
There are hardly any videos of them riding alone or in small groups that match well. These people usually have matching speeds and don't ride in parallel, or if they do, it's rare, and most of the time they come out and chat briefly only when there are no people or cars in front or behind them or when safety is certain
But when looking at situations or the number of people who get cursed at or become a topic of discussion
Mostly on weekend mornings, especially Saturday mornings, more than 6 people and double-digit numbers of cyclists move at the same time, but their riding pace or group formation don't match, and from a distance they look like a disorganized mob running, or they form a train-like snake with no intention of breaking apart, so that's why people talk about it
On the other hand, if some of these cyclists slow down or spread out separately, or if they ride in a zigzag manner struggling and being picky while biking, making it awkward for cars to overtake at once, then from the driver's perspective they have to keep thinking about what timing to decide on and overtake, and being blocked from behind causes considerable stress
Many people participate, but even when they hear car sounds from behind, some don't move and don't shift to the right edge, or some who take photos even when there are people coming the opposite direction or cars coming, and people who won't exercise alone even if they die but only show up for large weekend group rides and make unnecessary effort with unpredictable intervals need some regulation within the group
Energy distribution is important, but in places that aren't open sections
On slight uphills, by stubbornly maintaining speed, they make people use more power, and I personally hope that leaders who ride without seeing the people flowing behind don't show up
These people usually don't think much about their group's fitness when riding together. They should ride alone instead
The roles of leader and front and back riders are also important
First, the group ride leader should limit the number of participants to a smaller amount, and even if there are many, only keep the rest areas or courses the same and set at least 3 minutes or more interval between departure times and maintain speed and power
The back rider also needs to tell the people in front to move to the right if something faster than us is coming from behind
Beyond the title, there are problems not only with cyclists but also with bicycle lanes on city roads
For city riding, I personally think that putting a bike lane on the sidewalk itself became more of a poison
Additionally, some places are shared between cyclists and pedestrians, and some are separated
So this is correct on this road and that is correct on that road, and the biggest problem is that it's not intuitive
Bicycle lanes are nothing more than sidewalks in shape
Personally, I think the best bike lane would be to restore it back to a sidewalk and draw bike paths with paint below the curb and place bollards so cars can't come up
It's a personal feeling, but online cyclists are criticized to dust
Still, aside from the internet, in reality there are almost no cases where people openly hate bicycles without any fault or pretext just because of bicycle hobbies, except for those posted by certain people
If it's really not an accident situation and it's not the fault of pedestrians or other cyclists, one should refrain from roaring, and it's better not to make sharp overtakes if possible
The key is to ride in a way that doesn't make others uncomfortable
From a general person's perspective, you should ride predictably, and as long as you don't ignore signals or make others inconvenienced, you're fine
