This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

This is a tough one for me. On one hand, they're blocking the whole road

how do you feel when a bunch of cars block an entire road, which they do, every fucking day, also a tough one ?

I said I hate cars. Why do you want to argue about it? In a perfect world we'd have electric trains and we wouldn't be having this debate if you want to call it that. As for the quote, I was kind of just talking out of my ass. No need to make a big deal out of it.

Edit: Sorry if this comes off as rude sounding. That wasn't my intention.

The cars should be driven into the ocean because they are incapable of not blocking traffic. These particular bicyclists are choosing to be as bad as cars and therefore are as deserving of scorn.

Cars are bad for the ocean, too, please don't drive your car there :(

Edit: they might be ok in space, unless cause a space jam.
