People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can't be aggressive.

German right wing party AfD had one just like this, but unironically

I was riding on a two-lane road a couple of years ago. I heard a car approaching from behind, and he went really wide into the opposite lane to pass me. This was thoughtful of him except that there was a white van coming the opposite way which had to get almost all the way over to their curb to avoid hitting the car passing me head on. The driver of the white van stuck his head out of his window and yelled at me "YOU'RE GONNA GET SOMEBODY KILLED!"

I watched someone do that (without the screaming) right in front of a cop car going the other way, to the point where the cop had to hit the brakes to avoid a collision. I had to laugh.

Naturally nothing came of it. You know, driving dangerously isn't a ticketable offense, for some reason.

I must "Pick men" to be my sexual partners!

Really high Poe factor. I can't tell if the cartoonist is posting this ironically or not.

I've heard enough people regard bicyclists as a menace (and feeling ashamed in the cases when I'm quiet about being a bicyclist) that this really is how we're seen.

ETA the source explains a lot. Not knowing where it came from, though, seriously high Poe.

IMO. Bicyclists have liberal disregard for traffic laws here. But so do the following groups: pedestrians, motorcyclist, big rigs, cars.

It's a parody news site

True for bicyclists and motorcyclists.

Weird that you link directly to the post of original comic, but then share a lower quality, fuzzy version.

Why not just use the image in the original post you linked to?

I think some lemmy instances use thumbnail caching.
