That dispute was over filtering.
 
The problem here is that people stuck in their cars see someone moving faster than they are and they get mad over it because it's unfair in their opinion. No more, no less. The arguing over legality is just window dressing for their little baby brains getting mad over being passed.

 
I don't want to get killed in a squeeze crash so I'm going to filter. Cope and seethe.

Yeah, the cyclist is the dickhead in this situation.

 
I'll do what it takes to keep myself safe, including filtering. If that makes me a dickhead to some asshole with terminal carbrain, so be it.

I'm not gonna act like all those pipes and stuff aren't visually cool. To me at least.

Obviously not a fan of what it's doing to the area though. Feels like all our opposition has been proven right in a short amount of time.

I’m not about to spend the time finding the exact statute that says vehicles (which bikes are considered per the fucking link above) have to stop at red lights and can’t just cut to the front of the line whenever they want. Feel free to die on the hill that there are no traffic laws. Bizarre.

Dude you are being intentionally obtuse.

Says that bikers are subject to the same duties as cars. I’m not about to find the particular section that says you have to stop at red lights and can’t just pass other cars in non-passing lanes. Like what is your argument? That bikers aren’t subject to the law? Can do whatever they want?
