your not. but drivers thing anything/anyone that inconveniences them is ‘entitled’
a lot of streets in my city are putting up speedbumps to stop people blowing down side streets at 40mph while trying to cut around main street traffic. drivers scream at how ‘entitled’ the residents are being. because the road is ‘for them to go places as fast as possible’.
Bicycles on their own don’t turn people into assholes, the same way toaster ovens or flip-flops don’t do it, so we have to assume there is some percentage of the population that are assholes no matter what they drive. So before letting them loose in the city, would you rather equip an asshole with a multi-tonne metal murderbox or with a bicycle? The more assholes on bikes the fewer assholes with the means to murder people.
We want the opposite of “protection laws” in roads. We want separate paths so we never have to share a road with cars. Just give up one of your fucking lanes and you won’t ever see a bike in yours again, I swear.
While that’s cool, I’ll rather stay in my home country and try to change things here, I’ve already lived close to the Netherlands for some years but ended up going back to my country.
There are both car drivers and cyclists who feel like some laws only apply to them, the difference being that cyclists don’t kill anyone and car drivers do.
As I said to another guy, give us one of your lanes and put a concrete barrier between it and the road, and you won’t share road with a cyclist ever again.
Unpopular opinion: because cyclists are entitled assholes 😘

Lmao. Calling other people ‘entitled’ because they’re an inconvenience to them. Sounds like entitlement to me.

Also there’s a whole dictionary term created for car drivers called “road rage”.
So going by statistics, car drivers are entitled assholes.
What do they do that makes you consider them entitled?
They want all the protections of the road laws but want to follow none of them

come to the Netherlands. we welcome all cyclists.
Amsterdam reduced vehicle traffic to 30 kph for most of the city
While that’s cool, I’ll rather stay in my home country and try to change things here, I’ve already lived close to the Netherlands for some years but ended up going back to my country.
It’s almost as of a couple of assholes give an entire movement a bad name 🤷
Not even that, it’s just propaganda in media and car drivers being afraid of change.
This is exactly the attitude I’m referring to
No, it’s the cyclists that feel that only some of the laws apply to them
Let’s not get all impressed with ourselves again…

I’m a cyclist who follows all road laws, am I entitled?
You answered your own question
Cyclists need validation too, apparently
Oh no, they want protection, how entitled can you be! Everybody in traffic breks traffic laws, you too.
