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.

    I find this picture hilarious in a really sad and aggravating way. Everyone complains how the bikes block the path for pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs. But pictured on that very same image is how the entire sidewalk is narrowed to make room for cars. That one car takes up twice as much space as those two bikes and likely transported half an many people. And if you’re on foot, in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller you can move the bicycles out of the way. You can’t move the car out of your way.
