    Its called living in a city. People sit where they want to sit. You are not better than them. You are a monkey on a bike. They are a monkey who needs to rest. Complaining about people sitting down when you are on a bike is literally inventing a problem. Welcome to living among other humans. You arent in a car, you are going slow enough to move out of the way of a person. If it were a pregnant woman or woman with infant child or elderly person you would be the asshole here.

    tl:dr Fuck you, asshole, adapt or die. Complain to your city managers who don’t provide benches. Fuck you. These people are just walking on their legs. You choose otherwise. Fuck you. Pedestrians will always have the right of way no matter what. Fuck off. I hate entitled assholes with technology beating off on people who don’t use their preferred technology. They are just using their legs. You choose to use a bike. Your opinion is invalid.

      did you watch the clip? People put chairs in the bike lane, not just sitting on the curb. Those particular people are assholes. The curb-sitters were not actually in the way.

          Would have been a better argument if there wasn’t a park with benches and all just 50 meter down the road… But there is.

          While I generally like the argument there was also generally sidewalk room. If you watch the video, I was struck there were cycle/scooter people walking their vehicle on the sidewalk, past the obstructions in the bike lane. No reason those obstructions couldn’t have been on the sidewalk.

          But the OP is also wrong. You do have to deal with the reality you face and there were too many pedestrians in the way. Like it or not he should have been walking his bike past those assholes
