Well... I think that vehicle and bicycle regulations should change to be bicycle-centric in the long term, and roads should also change to be bicycle-centric.
Assuming that...
First of all, drivers who curse at cyclists don't know that bicycles are legally allowed to ride on the road.
As everyone knows, bicycles can use the rightmost half of the road from the outermost right lane line.
If there is a busy driver on a two-lane road, they may have to cross the center line briefly to overtake.
Similarly, bicycles may have to overtake to the left if there are obstacles on the right edge, a risk of a flat tire, or if cars are too close to the shoulder.
Legally in Korea, the only things cyclists are not allowed to do are left turns and riding side-by-side.
This is also allowed in several countries overseas, so ultimately we need to move towards a bicycle-centric approach to reduce carbon emissions.
The idea of a bicycle expressway should be realized to prevent disputes in the Han River community...
And the law needs to recognize bicycles as a perfect mode of transportation.
However, most people can only judge based on their own convenience and experience, and since we are in an era of online hate based on internet communities and SNS, it seems that insults are rampant between drivers and cyclists...
Personally, I do pack riding, but I also ride alone a lot.
Whether you're a driver or a cyclist, the important thing is to obey the law, be polite, be safe, and have good manners. These are not relatively high-level values,
but rather low-level values that trigger an immediate response.
Whether you're pack riding or solo riding, if you go over 40~50 km/h on a downhill or a flat road with good pavement, drivers actually like it.
Or, when you have to ride slowly due to headwinds, uphill climbs, or uneven roads, it's better to signal the car to overtake.
Then they like it too.
In this sense, both drivers and cyclists are similar in that their accident level is speed-centric.
I hope we can increase our understanding of each other's concept of speed.
