This isn’t mildly infuriating. It’s just regular infuriating

A friendship ended over something this petty

A friend and I were sitting on the curb, legs stretched out over the bike lane. I saw a bike coming and I picked up our bag and got up. He didn’t move and got mad at me for doing that “without warning” right before the cyclist rode between us (that was the only path they had). Ex-friend then turned their ire towards the cyclist calling them rude and whatnot. Fortunately the cyclist kept riding. I was finally able to tell them the bike is why I moved. And dude just tried to justify they could sit there if we had just curled our legs, saying there was enough room for the bike to pass. Bro. The entire lane is for the bike. We were just taking advantage of the fact there were no bikes around when we sat down. I had thought he would have the same response I had when the cyclist came. Apparently not and he ranted about it the whole way home. I blocked him when he drove off.

ETA: he was problematic before that and the weed wasn’t worth it

I expected more horses in Saint Denis.

FWIW saw a scooter parked this way, not on a bike lane but in front of a bike garage. I put a paper on it saying “This is not a parking spot, next time I’m moving it myself” with the intent of being polite but firm. Since then they never parked there anymore. Sometimes people don’t even realize.

I can kind of understand the sitters, but the parked motorcycles are just wrong. (Also they really should have better dedicated places for people to sit, but c’est la vie as they say)

It’s poorly designed infrastructure. Don’t blame the people (at least not entirely). The true fault lies with the city planners.

OP should devote a day off to doing hourly sweeps while getting belligerent about it.

If anyone in that area has seen my good friend, Gavin, please let me know, I’m worried sick about him.
