Love when I’m doing some Uber driving and the very same people who are vocal about delivery drivers and drivers waiting for riders “blocking” the side lane and I just KNOW you’re the same people ordering the food I’m delivering or the very same people asking whats taking me so long to get to you in reduced lane traffic… You all use delivery apps and call Uber/Lyft for rides. Very few of you actually bike or scooter to get around. You applaud evil ass PPA cockroaches writing tickets and you applaud bike lanes and bus lanes. But most of you are in the back of an Uber right now as you downvote and come up with some smart ass rebuttal. Stay hypocritical out there!

every driver should thank a cyclist every chance they get. that's one extra car off the road, leaving more room for you.

Nah cyclists deserve to die for making drivers pay a little more attention for a few seconds

i want to organize a cyclist appreciation day in philly. everyone who normally rides will get a car and we can go around clogging up all the roads once per year.

Everyone just illegally park in an intersection during rush hour. Shouldn't take too many to cause gridlock.

don't even have to do anything illegal. just a few more cars on chestnut or walnut and the city is frozen. couple more people on the schuykill and vine street. too easy.

Stop randomly in any street, put on the park anywhere lights and tell the people beeping at you that only be a minute while you go into a store and slowly count how many light bulbs they have in it.

How dare you suggest that drivers should pay any attention to cyclists, or pedestrians, or other cars on the road!

Stat of the day: 70% of Philadelphians are in the back of an Uber right now. (I assume the other 30% are the ones driving them.)

This is a bad excuse man, when I drove DoorDash for a few weeks I made a concerted effort not to park illegally in ways I blocked traffic, because I know how much of a problem it is for other drivers. I get that it’s a grind to make money on those apps but no one is being hypocritical here

No one? Thats pretty incredible confidence you have. Nobody at all in here? Really? All of you ride bikes every day or take septa? Never ever drive or summon a driver? Never? Never ditch your bike cause its raining, snowing, too cold, too windy? Liars.

Making up someone up in your head and getting mad at them, a time honored internet tradition

I’ve done over 4500 trips in the past 5 years cuz. I’ve been more vocal about it in this past year as things are almost fully back to reopened (for the most part) and people seem to be soooo surprised at the wait times, the traffic, and you’d be shocked at some of the screenshots I’ve taken of messages from impatient riders who seem to make you wanna perform some magic trick and just appear before their eyes.

Hopefully SEPTA embraces r/bitchimabus energy if so.
