    If those cyclists were blocking an ambulance or transit which even take up more room, those cyclists are the biggest assholes on the planet. Size really isn’t the best argument here.

      Ambulance and transit are both very different arguments from a single car.

      Both the bikes and the car are supposed to make room for the ambulance.

      Regulation about right of way for buses probably changes a lot between jurisdictions, so I don’t really have anything to say about that.

        Not at all if the argument is size alone or just spouting emissions. It’s a dumb cartoon to pair with the title.

          If the argument is size alone then there’s no concept of transit or ambulance or priorities.

          It’s ridiculous to try to make a case against bikes by bringing up an imaginary emergency, but then taking that scenario away.

            It’s simple. Replace that car with a fire truck. The cyclists look like the biggest asshole regardless of size of vehicle.

              Look, if we’re inventing hypothetical scenarios, imagine there was a fire truck behind the car. Now the car drivers are clearly the bigger assholes.

                cars pull over as that’s part of the drivers training. You get fined also and that’s part of the course. The cyclists take no training so if the picture were accurate, that car would have pulled over two blocks ago and the cyclists would still be blocking the fire truck. Oh and the warehouse will be burnt down killing all the workers on less than minimum wage all just cuz two cyclists felt entitled to be spiteful assholes.

                  I don’t think it’s a warehouse, it’s an underprivileged children’s hospital cancer ward. Also the doctors in the ward are the only doctors in the region, meaning those two bike riders committed genocide
