I lived in an area where cycling was very big. I would often get stuck behind a 30 person ride, and me (as well as other drivers) would get frustrated because there was a huge group on a one lane road. We would at all attempts try to go around them with no problem, but the riders would always get over as much as they could.

Sure, it was an inconvenience to most drivers that needed to be somewhere at a certain time, but the fact that the riders would try and get over as much as possible was respectable. No one ever got hit, and drivers got on their with only a minor inconvenience. It was the bikers respecting the drivers, and the drivers respecting the riders, even if it was an inconvenience for one of the parties. If a car was trying to get by and the rider would not get out of the way, I'm sure one of the rednecks in their big trucks would have hit them. However, the bikers were not dumb enough to think that they were invincible just because they were on bikes.

I am not saying what the driver did in the video was right, but the biker did not act in a respectable manner either.
