Thoughts? Aside from the fact the total video is only 41 seconds long, the time to pass even less, and even the cyclists the furthest from the road edge moved within 2-3 seconds of the car approaching, yet this guy is annoyed? How much was he delayed? 5 seconds? 10 max? And then he videos while driving.
The entitlement is staggering.
But I do wonder about the cycling group. Is that the best they could do? Even on our rides I see lots of people riding 4-5 feet from the person next to them, who is 4-5 feet from the edge of the road. The youth team can, and does, easily ride two abreast inside a bike lane or half the goose. Maybe lets aim for that? And let bozos like this have less to get bent out of shape about.
