So people saying the bikes side by side are a dick move are implying that you have more right to the road because you’re driving a car?

Generally speaking, to do an overtake, a car needs to leave the lane completely, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s one or two bikes.

If those cyclists were blocking an ambulance or transit which even take up more room, those cyclists are the biggest assholes on the planet. Size really isn’t the best argument here.

Ambulance and transit are both very different arguments from a single car.

Both the bikes and the car are supposed to make room for the ambulance.

Regulation about right of way for buses probably changes a lot between jurisdictions, so I don’t really have anything to say about that.

Not at all if the argument is size alone or just spouting emissions. It’s a dumb cartoon to pair with the title.

Most of the streets around here were built when the idea that every house could have a car would be viewed as a fantasy.

So you’ve got cars parked up and down each side of the road, and if two cars want to pass each other, then you have to hope that there’s space for one of you to pull over.

If you want to overtake even one bike, forget it. It’s probably got some balaclava wearing kid on it, weaving none-handed up the middle of the road.
