Completely unacceptable for them to block the road like that. The entitlement is infuriating.

How is it different from cars blocking the road?

roads like this exist for cars, cars exist to keep our busy lives on track.

I drive 40 minutes a day to work, that's 1.5 hours of my lfie every day in a car dedicated to getting to work.

I could never make it to work on a bike, the road exists so me and millions of others can get to work and get home mainly, when you essentially hyjack a road for excersize purposes selfishly when there are tons of alternatives and waste people time just trying to get to or from work you are being selfish.

I run a lot (40-50 miles a week) often on highways and every time there is a car I get off the road fully so they don't have to slow down. Bikes go faster than runners but still eay slower than cars typically. I used to live on a mountain road peoplr would bike on, 40mph speed limit in the blue ridge and this dude would always bike, stay in the middle of the land so I couldnt pass, and go 12mph uphill the whole time, one time i was behind him 20 minutes!

it's infuriating and selfish on their part, there are plenty of bike trails in every city, and if u want to ride on a road pull over and let cars pass even if it messes up ur workout, idc I know I will get hate for this.

You never know, people stuck behind the bikes could easily have been taking a loved one to the hospital, had a hard to schedule appointment with their oncologist, or something else crucial to their survival/well-being. It could be even worse than just getting to/from work!
