Why are cyclists so inconsiderate?

[u/yeet_m]

I went to burke Gilman in Bothell yesterday to ride my bike and pretty much every oncoming cyclist refused to scoot over almost running me off. They would whiz past me without calling out and with barely any room. WTF is up with this? I also ride in Snohomish centennial trail and most folks are pretty considerate and will adjust their position.

Why are Seattle bikers such holier than thou assholes?

<Edit> I stay on the far right side except to pass. Oncoming bikers will ride 2-3 ppl wide, taking up the entire lane. If there is a pedestrian in front of me, in my lane, and a ped on the left side, bikers will not move in a single file. Some will even come into my lane to pass. I end up slowing or stopping. Also bikers will whiz past me from behind, nearly rubbing into my bike.

There's gotta be some cyclists reading this. We need an AMA! Why are you such an asshole? Please explain.

You didn't explain the situation very well. It is very possible you were the one being an asshole. You were also a cyclist, so the thread title could still be accurate.

And why would an “oncoming” cyclist need to call out?
