There are some annoying things that you know you’ll have to deal with when you ride in the bike lane.
You’ll get cars trying to invade your space, buses riding about one to two centimetres behind you, and an array of others cyclists trying to edge their way in front of you – no matter how fast you ride.
One thing you shouldn’t have to put up with though are rollerbladers in the bike lane. For so many reasons, it just shouldn’t be a thing.
Here are 15 tweets from people who have had the misfortune of encountering such a thing:
