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

And, perchance, do you live in Nottinghamshire?

That's the Tour de Pants you're thinking of

I fail to see the problem.

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago

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

Yeah I think you can't quite read, there are no mountain roads in the place this is talking about...

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] theturtlemoves@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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?

Never been to the Alps then?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

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.
