Angry Cyclist Literally Drags Car Out Bike Lane And The Crowd Rejoices [VIDEO]
You definitely do not want to anger this muscle-bound cyclist. A YouTube video shows an angry, apparently Brazilian cyclist -- who looks like The Mountain from "Game of Thrones" -- picking up and physically moving a car parked in a bike lane. No kidding!
While the car looks a bit small -- we're talking about an old school Volkswagen Golf, not a Mac Truck -- the feat is still impressive. And not something we could do single-handedly.
Still, we're sure many can empathize with the man's frustration. Last week, cyclists in New Orleans staged a "die-in" to protest what they deemed unsafe conditions. And San Francisco cyclists plan to protest laws requiring them to stop at stop signs.
More than 4 billion bicycle trips are taken in 2009 in the United States, according to a National Household Travel Survey, which was more than double the 1.7 billion trips taken in 2001. New York City has the highest number of bicyclists, according to the League of American Bicyclists, with more than 46,000 known cyclists and untold more delivering takeout. That number is still a small percentage of the overall population -- just 1.2 percent of New Yorkers. Portland has the highest percentage of bicyclists in the U.S. at 5.9 percent.
Comparatively, San Diego has the most bike lanes of any city, with 620 miles of lanes, according to Forbes. This is followed by Tucson with 610 miles, Los Angeles with 463 miles, San Jose with 443 miles and Philadelphia with 426 miles.
And let's hope all drivers take heed: If you block a bike lane, your car might be moved by a buff biker.
