This cyclist posted to Reddit's AITA subreddit in order to see whether or not they were in the wrong for riding in the road instead of in a snowy cycle lane. Now, it's no secret that cyclists are not popular amongst most other motorists and road users, drawing a disproportionate amount of hate and rage in online discussions for the number of them there actually are.
There's just something about being mildly inconvenienced while driving that provokes unbridled rage in our minds; it's really difficult and inopportune to have to lift your foot off of one pedal and place it onto the other, before moving your hand to flick on the blinker and indicate passing and turning the wheel slightly while moving your foot back to the other pedal. All of this costing precious seconds that you could have spent texting on your phone or playing candy crush at the next traffic light. Yes, cyclists are a blight on society and must be stopped.
I can already sense the itchy fingers aching to type angry responses in the comments just because riding a bicycle has been mentioned in this post. But, really, is it ok to try and murder someone with a 2-ton vehicle just because they're wearing tight-fitting clothing and manually powering a 15 lb. machine on two wheels?
Surprisingly. Reddit largely voted in the cyclist's favor. What's your take?
