Epic fail

Too many cycle activists bang on about how they want drivers to give them the same space they'd give a car but then they are happy to filter through traffic, skimming wing mirrors etc. They want the space of a car when it suits them and to be as small as a bicycle when that suits them. It should be law that before you post a youtube video or a blog post about how cars give you no room etc that you ride around with a frame like that for a week and see how frustrating it'd be to be the size of a car.

Where to start with this codswallop? No 'cycling activist' would be happy about skimming wing mirrors - but nice try eliding that and filtering.
Yes, cyclists want to be given, and have a right to be given, enough space to be safe. And they want the convenience of being able to filter (safely and considerately). What is wrong with that? We choose to ride bikes partly because we do not always have to be stuck in traffic.
It's frustrating to be the size of a car? It must be. I guess it's also frustrating sometimes to be driving a car. What with all the congestion that, er, car drivers cause. It's hard to see. outside of some bizarro angry-man/daily mail-man world, why other people not having that frustration should add to yours.
