Pulling into the bike lane for 30 seconds causes bikers to have to unsafely pull around the car, possibly causing accidents. In some cities and lanes you may be endangering dozens of bikers during the 30 seconds.

I had to commute by foot for two years into a city, and I have to say I understand the rage. Cars nearly killed me a dozen times and I was always more safe than the law required of me as a pedestrian. Most drivers don’t understand their power with today’s massive cars.

Or, hear me out, they could stop if passing the car is unsafe.

Victim blaming right there. They have as right to the lane, cars don’t.
So you're advocating... what exactly? Crashing into the car on purpose because it's their right?
No, what the fuck, I’m advocating for cars to stay the fuck in their own space. Are you being purposely obtuse?
Cars in London apparently have a right to pull over to drop and pick up passengers.
