      or cyclist when you suggest they ride in the bike lane instead of the sidewalk.
      or cars when you suggest they park on the road instead of the bike lane.

      or pedestrians when you suggest they move out of the way when walking 4 next to each other blocking the entire sidewalk.
      or pedestrians when you suggest they move out of the way to let you out of the bus/tram/train before they try to get on.

      Ah, but first, there must actually BE a cycling lane, young padawan.

      I can deal with them being on the road. What I have more problems with is when they don’t follow traffic rules because they don’t want to stop and give right of way.

      In Wallonia and even more so in Brussels: when you suggest they ride on the road or bike lane (when/if there is a bike lane to begin with), rather than the sidewalk/voetpad/trottoir.

      It’s weird. I cycle regularly and ride my car regularly. When cycling I really get this weird sense of superiority to car drivers and get really annoyed when cars get in my way or honk when I’m not using the crappy bike lanes. When I’m in my car, I think all cyclists are douchebags trying to get in my way.

      Makker de helft van de tijd is er niet eens een fietspad en als de weg te smal is om om ingehaald te worden ga ik in het midden van de weg fietsen om te voorkomen dat ze het toch niet proberen en mij van de baan rijden.

      Reminds me of a road in tessenderlo. Its a well used road by traffic, connecting tessenderlo industry with the city.

      Its between fields. And the gemeente of tessenderlo was like= you know what, we are gonna make a nice smooth very wide bike lane seperated from the road so cyclists can pedal safely and fast!

      And then comes summer….And you see wheel terrorists on the FRIKKING ROAD. BECAUSE why use a WIDE and perfect BIKE LANE…WHEN YOU CAN USE THE ROAD

      Cars when they have to slow down for 2 minutes to drive behind a cyclist, so now they will be 30 seconds later at their destination

    9. TurnShot6202 on

      the amount of people on drugs in cars is astounding. Cellphones. The amount of people i know that cannot park unless its a super open spot is even more astounding.

      That idiots drive in the middle on the road on a fragile bike with these idiots driving on them, hey, have fun.

    11. Reiny_Days on

      I see mostly angry cyclists in the comments. This post is a self-fulfilling prophecy

    12. dreamerinthesky on

      Hate these guys, they don’t have bells on their handlebars either. Nuisance when you’re cycling, nuisance when you’re driving.

    13. zyygh on

      I’m a cyclist and I don’t feel triggered. I know this happens and it’s annoying.

      Tomorrow, my meme entry will be: „Car drivers when you suggest they wait at a crossroads ***before*** the cycling lane, not ***on*** it“ and insist that people are triggered.

      In the end, all groups of people contain selfish assholes, and nobody is so perfect that they truly follow every traffic law all the time. Just live, let live, stay safe and respect others‘ safety. It’s just a few seconds of your life.

    16. MrFingersEU on

      art. 9.1.2.1 „Als het fietspad berijdbaar is, is men verplicht om het te gebruiken“.

      En aan die „berijdbaar“ schort het hem vaak.

    17. Character_Past5515 on

      If the bikelanes are suitable we ride on them, but that’s problem, a lot of them are only made for mountainbikes (or so it seems).

    18. doublethebubble on

      To be fair, as someone who bicycles just as a means of transportation, having these guys zoom by me on the bicycle path, with maybe 5cm of clearance, and never any warning (I guess bike bells are bad for speed?) is terrifying. The number of times I’ve nearly gotten into accidents because of wielrenner douchebags…

    19. freakofshadow on

      Race bikes must drive on the road for legal and safety reasons. They are technically not allowed on most bike lanes (unless they are fully dedicated to cyclist and pedestrians are not able to cross them at any point)

    20. L-Malvo on

      Mandatory preface: I love you guys.

      Try explaining Belgian cycling tourist in The Netherlands that they are not allowed to cycle on the main road and they have to use our dedicated bike paths. Even more so, a car driving behind the peloton doesn’t magically make it legal.

      It’s very annoying to be stuck behind a group of cyclists when we have dedicated and perfectly maintained bike paths for that exact purpose.

    21. Shaddix-be on

      If the hate against cars doing stupid shit was as big as when cyclist are doing stupid shit the internet would explode.

    22. Dukhlovi on

      When I want to let my dog loose I am forced to go to a little dogpark. I suggest we force those cyclist to cycle in special little cyclistparks. The public road is for transportation not for hobbiests.

    23. TastyChemistry on

      I fucking hate the car drivers swinging in my opposite lane to get past a cyclist on their right. Like i have to swerve and kill my cyclists for you?

    24. Irsu85 on

      I don’t agree but I understand it. But there is a reason for it, if they drive the bike in the middle of the road, car drivers have to pass wide, which is safer, while on Belgian bike paths, car drivers generally pass tight because of bad infrastructure

      Unless the signs say you are supposed to bike on the sidewalk and there is a bus stop in the sidewalk, in which case I also bike in the middle of the road

    25. Hour_Engineer_974 on

      Funny thing is most cyclists dont even know how to throw a punch, let alone take one

    27. bxl-be1994 on

      The cyclist who drives in the middle of the road is the same person who drives 100 in the middle line on the highway.

      The cyclist who doesn’t give priority when they must is the same person who doesn’t look in the mirrors when open the car door or leaving the parking spot.

      The cyclist who doesn’t give a fuck about the red light on a busy intersection is the same person who tailgates you in a 30km/h streets when you already going 35.

      It’s all same antisocial assholes with the main character syndrome.

    29. Zdurialz on

      Ngl but the bike lanes in Belgium are a joke. It’s so small and cars are speeding by on a road where the limit is 80kmp/h what the fuck where they thinking!? This was when the A2 was closed so I was forced to go through Belgium… never fking again.

    30. Round_Mastodon8660 on

      Happened to me today… these people are getting more and more insane. I was blocked due to a white line and a cyclist next to a beautiful cycling lane.

    31. Vargoroth on

      To be fair, yesterday the bike lanes were full of ice. For once I actually biked on the road because the cars had removed all the snow there and it wasn’t slippery.

    32. HP7000 on

      „Car Drivers when you suggest a fietsstraat does actually mean they have to stay BEHIND the cyclists“

      „Car drivers when you suggest they always have to leave at least 1m space between car and bike or have to stay BEHIND the bike“

      „Car drivers when you say that if you doublepark you have to park on the road, NOT on the bike path“

      bet that triggers more cardrivers…

    33. impliedfoldequity on

      I’ll play devils advocate here.

      I drove my e-bike to work for 1.5 years.

      The quality of our bikepaths is so ridiculously bad that sometimes it feels safer to drive on the road.

      Bikepaths mostly suck. They are not wide enough, there are gaps, they are not even, they are not properly fixed after some jobs take place (sewers, cables,…)

      the best bikepaths are „jaagpad“ next to the albertkanaal but you can maximum drive 25 there so every speedpedelec is at fault.

      Because of my experience on the bike I am way less annoyed at cyclists because I understand riding +30 Km/h on most of the bike paths is dangerous and very uncomfortable.

      This is probably only worse with a racing-bike with small wheels.

      As long as Belgium doesn’t invest in decent bike paths this problem will keep happening and the roads will remain filled with cars

    34. Jay_Nodrac on

      Geen last van, ik knal ze gewoon aan 45km/u voorbij op het fietspad met mijn speed pedelec.

    35. EdNashW on

      Same thing can be said about runners. Run on the effing sidewalk instead of the cycling lane. And don’t counter with „but the sidewalk is not flat“. Go run somewhere else. Enough places to run.
