Reply to comment by 9toes in Henrico supervisor faces charge after incident with bicyclist by ThatChildNextDoor
Then drive to the prevailing road conditions, wait for sufficient space to make a safe maneuver, overtake giving 3ft, enjoy the warm feeling of being a safe and considerate road user. So what if there's a bike path near there!

As someone who regularly has moved oversized loads down the back roads of this community, the bikes are a giant pain in the butt, and the majority of the time the cyclist are not proactive for their own safety, thats why I say the bike path is near by, it was created to be a safe place for them to ride and to actually go somewhere. If the option to ride safely isnt at the top of your mind, you are the problem! I said it Im sure I will be downvoted past hell and out the other side of the earth, but you havent ever heard of a automobile driver run over by a bicyclist and injured. Be proactive, be safe, I know no one that wants to be in accident much less with a bicycle

As someone who has been more inconvenienced by drivers moving large loads than I ever have by cyclists, maybe consider that you’re the bigger pain in the butt. However, does that give me the right to nearly kill you? Should I give a fuck about other people almost killing you or should I encourage them with “both sides” bullshit?

And I'm saying that's some of the dumbest shit I've seen written on Reddit.
Let's say every time you slow us all down while you move your wide load, I decided to take a pot shot at you with my gun - don't worry, I can aim it so I'll only get within a foot of you. It would be insane right? That's pretty standard for what cyclists deal with so calm the fuck down and learn how to drive right.
