You’re probably not familiar with cycling friendly cities, so I’ll cut you some slack. Bicyclists absolutely have the right to ride in street lanes, and take up the entire lane. They usually cut between cars, because it’s safer for them or quicker for everyone. Riding on the sidewalk is a terrible idea, because if you’re doing 20 miles per hour on a bike, cars may not see you when they decide to turn left. It’s also illegal in most cities.
Have you ever honestly ridden your bicycle to work? How many cities have you lived in? I’ve lived in seven different cities here, and only two of them are even remotely safe to bike in.
I agree with you, but I grew up in a place where people actually have national pride. And just to be exceedingly clear, that is different from Christofascism and white nationalism. And yes, I did vote for Obama.
I think normal depends entirely on where you were raised. Most of the homes in my neighborhood displayed a single American flag when I was a kid. I do the same as an adult, and I’m glad the sick magalunatics make it easy for us to pick them out with their desperate cries for attention, and their fuck your feelings flags.
