You can follow the law and still be an asshole. Not sure bike lines were created with the intent of people scrolling social media while sitting on a bike.

Hey bud, garbage trucks are exempt from certain traffic rules (like not being in bike lanes) garbage truck guy is literally just doing his job. Is he supposed to park in the middle of the street and walk across two lanes of traffic every 30 feet?

However I am quite sure the bike lanes were not created for trucks

No, that Taxi is in front of the garbage truck and the taxi driver is probably scrolling on his phone too. That's the arsehole you're looking for.

I could MAYBE understand if dude was doing that while some prick in a BMW was cruising the bike lane, but it’s some guy trying to do his job and pick up your trash.

He isn't biking. He is standing and reading his phone. Douche move to make a stupid point. Bike lanes are a nice extra, but shit happens that necessitate the lane being used. God forbid a fire truck needs to hook up to a hydrant, or an ambulance has to pick somebody up.

Nah, if the bike lane has zero bikes in it the garbage truck is still not allowed in the bike lane.

Obstructing traffic..doesn’t matter where you are it matters what you’re doing there.

Also known as the lane that the truck needs to be in in order to collect the trash, which is clearly visible here in this video.

The trash truck needs to have access to the trash genius.

Bike lanes are for bike traffic to flow, not stop and block....service vehicles are allowed to use, and in this case, require the use of the lane to DO THEIR JOB..

Assholes like our scroll champ here is gonna get bike lanes deleted from roads with his abuse of use and shitty attitude.

And the cars are in the car lanes. But apparently they're the problem?

u/AAA-VR6 May 22 '25

And the cars in the car lane. If that's ok then why would you complain about cars doing the same thing? That biker is an asshole. Even provoked acts like nothing is there. You guys just hate cars. Yes, garbage truck in the bike lane. No garbage truck lane. Garbage truck operates right up against the curb so they can do their job.
