    I live near a Tour de France route and single file is the way to do it, because we leave at least 1.5m by law when overtaking cyclists

    You can tell the fucking insufferable English CUNTS because they cycle two-abreast “bEcAUSe iT’s SAfeR”

    Mate, people will sit behind you until it’s safe to overtake and leave you that 1.5m, cycling side by side makes overtaking impossible on mountain roads and makes you an UTTER CUNT

        I explained it quite simply, do you need me to draw a picture with crayons?

        We respect the cyclists by not overtaking until we can leave 1.5m of space. We expect the cyclists to respect us the same way by giving us the opportunity to leave 1.5m of space and not cycling side by side

        Simple

            It’s not the mountainous aspect of the road that makes this geometric story relevant.

          If you’re on a mountain road so narrow that two cycles and a car can’t go in parallel with enough space in between, then maybe wait till the road gets wider and flatter before you overtake them?

        Yes failing to see the problem, conceivably because “fuck car people”, is indeed why the guy called them cunts.

        I honestly don’t believe that you’re too stupid to see the problem. Instead you’re choosing to define problems caused for car people to be non-problems, which is a dehumanizing tactic, and solidly earns you the title.
