    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.

        If the argument is size alone then there’s no concept of transit or ambulance or priorities.

        It’s ridiculous to try to make a case against bikes by bringing up an imaginary emergency, but then taking that scenario away.

          It’s simple. Replace that car with a fire truck. The cyclists look like the biggest asshole regardless of size of vehicle.

            Look, if we’re inventing hypothetical scenarios, imagine there was a fire truck behind the car. Now the car drivers are clearly the bigger assholes.

              cars pull over as that’s part of the drivers training. You get fined also and that’s part of the course. The cyclists take no training so if the picture were accurate, that car would have pulled over two blocks ago and the cyclists would still be blocking the fire truck. Oh and the warehouse will be burnt down killing all the workers on less than minimum wage all just cuz two cyclists felt entitled to be spiteful assholes.

                Bro do you think as soon as someone gets on a bicycle they forget what sirens mean? Do you honestly think that everyone on a bike with an ambulance behind them would just be dumbfounded and confused as to what it wants? And all of a sudden they’re entitled spiteful assholes as well?

                Do you realize it’s people on those bicycles, not goblins?

                  Can you even imagine someone on a bike going “Nope! This is my lane! I have rights! Thou shall not pass!” while a fucking fire truck goes BRAAAAAAAAAH at +100 dB behind them? 😂

                What ever it is you’re taking, you need to either take more or less of it. And you should see a mental health expert rather soon. Also, please do the world a favour and stay away from vehicles of any kind.

                You know what, how about we execute all cyclists immediately to prevent this scenario from happening in the future.

                I don’t think it’s a warehouse, it’s an underprivileged children’s hospital cancer ward. Also the doctors in the ward are the only doctors in the region, meaning those two bike riders committed genocide
