Firstly check your attitude, dick.

Secondly I'm a cyclist. I was only pointing out the absurdity of complaining about road noise from a bike that is at most 50dB when road noise from cars hovers in the 90dB range yet no one ever complains about car noise.

Thirdly, not every city has separated bike and car lanes. I personally have no issue with fast moving bikes in the same lane as me because I'm not a coward like you seem to be. I also know how to handle my bike properly and keep my head on a swivel which helps me avoid accidents.

Both of you need to chill the fuck out: You can disagree and argue without the personal attacks.

Both of you get a temporary ban. In the future when you are here you need to win your arguments without attacking the person.

It's not about you mate. Or your pathetic bravado. "Oh look at me, I don't mind people making the bike lane less safe because I'm so brave! Road safety? That's for whimps!"

As if teenagers aren't at risk here, or anyone else who travels by bike.

And where comes the idea from that people don't complain about loud trucks/cars? That's some made up bs. Nor does it at all solve anything about the boosted issues of fatbikes/scooters. Which is more traffic accidents!

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
