You obviously are not from a culture where everybody is a cyclist. We have more bikes than cars in our country because you can use them at all ages and get to more places using a bike. My kids learned to ride a bike at 2.

We have some research [0], on average anybody over 6 rode a bike 232 times and an average of about 1000 km in 2022.

I'm from a culture where mountains exist. Geography isn't a culture.

Having said that. In Sweden this routinely happens:

To clear the bike and car paths from snow, a mountain is of snow is made over the pedestrian path, then INEVITABLY bicyclists angry ring at pedestrians all the time… because pedestrians should walk in 1 meter high piled up snow of course?

The same also happens if there is a digging in progress and there is a 2 meter hole… cyclists still expect pedestrians to jump down in a hole and then climb up.

However where there is no bicycle path, they will go on the side walk (which is not allowed).

Of course a good % of them actually have an electric engine and zoom around very fast.


You are an angry person. Most people are kind, something is not adding up here.


I am not angry until some person on the bicycle tells me to go to hellvete (hell, but it's more insulting in swedish than english) because I dared to walk on the cleared up bicycle path when there was no alternative.

After, I do tend get angry, yes.

You are probably just set in your own ways and refuse to internalize that there's more to the experience of the human race than your little bubble.


He man we all know Klingons have anger management issues.


Victim blaming at its best.

Perhaps it's time to do some serious self evaluation.
