This was filmed Rue Gabriel Perri, near Maison Kouts
Every so often they need to send down a golf cart with a cow catcher on it
OP should devote a day off to doing hourly sweeps while getting belligerent about it.
An friendship ended over something this petty
A friend and I were sitting on the curb, legs stretched out over the bike lane. I saw a bike coming and I picked up our bag and got up. He didn’t move and got mad at me for doing that “without warning” right before the cyclist rode between us (that was the only path they had). Ex-friend then turned their ire towards the cyclist calling them rude and whatnot. Fortunately the cyclist kept riding. I was finally able to tell them the bike is why I moved. And dude just tried to justify they could sit there if we had just curled our legs, saying there was enough room for the bike to pass. Bro. The entire lane is for the bike. We were just taking advantage of the fact there were no bikes around when we sat down. I had thought he would have the same response I had when the cyclist came. Apparently not and he ranted about it the whole way home. I blocked him when he drove off.
ETA: he was problematic before that and the weed wasn’t worth it
OP is showing incredible restraint here not to just kick those parked scooters over.
I would have yelled them to F Off or use the bell aggressively.
I wonder how hard it would be to mount a truck’s airhorn on a bike.
That wouldn’t work on the bikes that have been left unattended, though, hence the kicking.
This isn’t mildly infuriating. It’s just regular infuriating
This must be quite a more tolerant region of friends because the the 2 French people I know would have immediately resorted to violence. Totally valid as well.
I’d love to get a group together, and go along just throwing scooters out of the path and into the road.
And the guy in the chair too.
Sheesh, should take a slice from the Dutch and start ramming people tbh
Or from Indian police men and start slapping them with sticks.
I think I would light the dude sitting in a chair in the bike lane on fire. What kind of scumbag does that?
This is the most polite behaviour I’ve seen towards people blocking bike paths in Paris
I’d be knocking over those motorcycles
And kicking people sitting in the bike lane.
Give them a squirt from your water bottle.
That’s maybe a bridge too far for me but I might yell at them.
What would happen if you knocked over all the unattended bikes on “accident”
Probably the same thing that would happen if you did it by accident.
You’ve been downvoted, but you are correct. Saying ‘on accident’ is jarring and meaningless.
The people who say it are like the idiots who say they ‘could care less’.
And they can, FUCK. OFF.I know it’s incorrect to say “on accident”, but sometimes I do anyway, just to be wrong by purpose.
My guess is he’s getting downvoted for the snark, not for the factual content. English isn’t most people’s native language.
True, but I’m fairly sure “on accident” doesn’t come from non-native speakers.
I can kind of understand the sitters, but the parked motorcycles are just wrong. (Also they really should have better dedicated places for people to sit, but c’est la vie as they say)
Complete opposite here. I understand the parking, that’s just standard asshole Behavior. That I get. I’m used to it. The sitting is just fucking bizarre. Why? Just why? They brought a chair for fucks sake. Out into the street. They passed the wide open sidewalk while carrying their chair. It makes no sense.
It does if you consider they are clearly doing it on purpose: the message is that they own the place and will sit wherever they want.
Can’t they hang out in the street or something?
I expected more horses in Saint Denis.
Bike obviously means motorbike duh
