After 15 minutes or so my sister was playing on the swings because she got scared and didn't want to ride the bicycle anymore

Adults are not always right, and feel free to call them out and stick up for your little sister when she is being bullied. Carry on being a good sport by being better parent than that lady when you're older, and even better than your mum so you only bring good kids into the world!

I get your mom having an impulsive reaction to fuss because you talked back to another mom on the playground, and she's thinking like you're a kid on the playground, not a fellow caregiver with that mom. If your mom thought through it before she reacted, if she tried to imagine what she would have done, she probably wouldn't have fussed at you.

You asked the lady to get her kids off your sister's bike. She ignored you. And the lady went off acting like the morality police... she had no business even if she was right... and she was wrong! Showing a little attitude was called for in this instance. NTA
