We’ve all encountered entitled, tough cyclists earlier than. Perhaps they’re using three or 4 abreast, not letting automobiles get by, and appearing aggressive in direction of any driver who does attempt to move. There are different methods cyclists can rub drivers the mistaken means, however one factor we sadly can all the time rely on is them enjoying the sufferer each time they’re known as out for it.
This positive feels like that kind of state of affairs, though we weren’t there so it’s unattainable to say that for positive. In line with a member of the group, who spoke with Fox 5 Atlanta, a bunch of 30-40 individuals have been doing a journey for World Bicycle Day when a BMW driver “flew” previous them.
Not solely does the report insinuate the Bimmer was dashing, it additionally mentions the automotive crossed the double yellow line because it handed the group. And but later within the report it’s talked about how drivers are supposed to maneuver over for cyclists. It’s nearly like for some individuals on bicycles, nothing drivers do is sweet sufficient.
Proper after, a police officer placed on his lights and sirens. The cyclists assumed the cop was going to tug over the BMW since they perceived him as being within the mistaken. However that’s once they obtained a shock because the cop ordered the complete group of riders to tug over.
Now comes the curious half: nothing within the report signifies precisely why the officer pulled the cyclists over. That’s the place we get suspicious. Had been they blocking a lane of visitors and never staying within the bike lane? Did they commit another violation? We don’t know since that’s not talked about.
As a substitute, it cuts to an interview with an lawyer specializing in bike regulation who takes umbrage with the cop’s actions.
Was the BMW driver within the mistaken or have been the cyclists? We don’t know, and the report doesn’t assist us type by means of what really occurred, so we’d by no means know. However the report does point out how terrible automotive tradition is and makes it clear bicycling ought to be prioritized.
