Funny how it's a problem when cyclists start acting like drivers
Funny how no one would be on the side of a driver driving into oncoming traffic. They're not acting like drivers unless you want to lump them in with absolute moron dangerous drivers.
Hold up traffic by staying in the proper lane and following road rules like cars and I'll be on their side.
That's literally what happens during every parade. They don't close down half a street and let regular traffic proceed down half a parade route. That's dangerous. You close the entire street and send the parade down both sides of the street.
Have you really never been to a parade before?
Right. You close the entire street, with barricades/detours and such. I don't know what parade you're going to but the ones I've been to don't parade down both sides of the street while giving cars the option to drive down them.
That's common in the US, but elsewhere theres often parades and demonstrations that se the entire road without blocking them off. Drivers can either wait or backout or be stuck there while everyone goes around them.
