There seems to be so much hate against bikes in this thread.

I see the problem of parking inefficiently on the sidewalk as in the picture, but it really is such a small problem. Just move the outer bike 2 meters and everyone is fine?

Thankfully there are some more reasonable commenters as well but the majority seems to suggest knocking the bikes down or similar.

It just makes me sad to see people complain this much over such a small thing just because they are bikes. I love bikes and could easily have been that guy who parked beside my friend to just pop in and get some snacks or whatever.

    Wanting to knock those bikes down doesn’t mean someone hates bikes. I strongly dislike cars, and have driven bikes my entire life (cause, netherlands), and if I walked past these bikes I’d also feel a slight temptation to kick them down (no, I wouldn’t actually do it).

    You claim it’s a small problem, but would you feel that way if a car parked half way on the sidewalk? It’s not a small problem for someone in a wheelchair. They already face enough obstacles, and people who do this aren’t helping.

    Bikes being great and cars being horrible doesn’t change that someone here was being inconsiderate with their bike.
