Flutterby™! : raging cyclist

raging cyclist

Shadow forwarded along a couple of Reddit links over an incident in England where a cyclist and guy driving a big ol' truck met on a narrow one lane road, and the cyclist decided to not budge.

This time it is an idiot on a bike. The huge truck has to move so his mountainbike doesn't get muddy.

and the follow-up

Cyclist raging at trucker for not giving him enough space to pass.

And I don't know enough to make a judgment here, but I do think that my initial "dude, just grab the bike and let the 4 wheeled vehicles by" does reflect some ingrained pro-automobile biases that I need to introspect on.
