| 0:00.0 | My most controversial opinion is that bicyclists should not be allowed on roads because they always go |
| 0:13.3 | significantly under the speed limit and it holds up traffic. I live in kind of a rural area with |
| 0:18.4 | winding roads. So you can't just zip your car around a bicycle that's not riding on the edge of |
| 0:24.7 | the road. They're riding in the middle of the road, just a two lane road. You can zip around them |
| 0:28.6 | because there's a curve. So you can't tell if another car is coming at you. So I literally |
| 0:32.8 | spent a mile and a half on a 40 mile an hour road going 22 miles an hour before I could go around |
| 0:38.7 | a bicyclist. I don't understand why we tolerate bicyclists on the road truly. They are participating |
| 0:44.4 | in a recreational activity that hinders everyone else. This, we as drivers of cars would get a ticket |
| 0:52.3 | by police if we went half of what the speed limit called for. If I was going 25 miles an hour and a |
| 0:58.0 | 40 mile an hour speed limit, I am violating the law. So if a bicyclist cannot go the speed |
| 1:03.0 | limit, if he cannot ride his bike, according to the law that I am required to follow as a driver of |
| 1:07.4 | a car, he should not be allowed on the road. He is after all. This is not about climate change, |
| 1:12.0 | it's not about environmentalism. He's definitely not going to work. He's just out there doing his |
| 1:16.0 | recreational activity. Imagine if I just did my recreational activity in the middle of the road |
| 1:21.0 | and forced everyone to accommodate their driving to it. If I was just like golfing out in the |
| 1:25.9 | middle of the road, I was like, oh, sorry guys, I know you're driving. You're driving your kid to |
| 1:29.3 | the park. You're trying to get to a doctor's point. You're going to church. But let me just finish |
| 1:32.5 | out my putting and chipping here in the middle of the road. And you'll just have to hang back and |
| 1:36.8 | wait because that's how we do things here. Bicyclists should be banned from roads. We should take a |
| 1:42.5 | stand as a society on this. We should not tolerate it any more. And I really want to say, I appreciate |
| 1:48.4 | everyone's solidarity online. I posted this on my Twitter and on my Instagram. And I thought maybe |
| 1:52.6 | I'd get some backlash for this opinion because it could be viewed as a controversial opinion. |
