Keep in mind a lot of noise cancelling headphones have a passthrough mode as well. If there's no bike lane provided, they can probably hear just find and were ignoring the asshole driver who thinks "bigger faster vehicle = owner of the road."
Ah, yeah, that's true. I mainly wrote this with the least charitable view of drivers in mind, as you describe at the end, which is why I considered what I wrote to be a SLPT. If you have a better driving culture that's mindful of bikers/cyclists, this may not be as much of a SLPT as I initially thought. 😅
Maybe you should focus your energy on those drivers instead of writing sarcastic comments about some biker who mildly inconvenienced you by taking the space they are allowed to, and who have to listen to the noise your and all the other cars make (which you don’t realise, because you are sitting inside the comfortably soundproofed metal box).
Err, I think you've misunderstood where I was coming from in writing this. There was no biker that annoyed me & inspired this. Instead it was another post to a biking community here asking for advice on riding in cities, & I knew this wouldn't be right for that thread. This was meant more as snark towards obnoxious drivers & encouraging bikers to be mildly annoying to them.
The SLPT is because this puts the biker at risk due to shitty/obnoxious drivers by being less situationally aware and inciting their road rage at the mildest inconvenience.
No, I hadn’t misunderstood where you’re coming from. It’s a shitty take. Read the comments here, it’s all been said, and it has been said countless times before. Stop blaming the most vulnerable traffic members for getting harassed and killed.
