So no one should jog or run on public roads either? No doing push-ups in a public park? Glad you're not the dictator of the world.

No people should not run on public roads, why would you do that? I've never ran on a public road. Parks are made for recreation, not transportation. You don't do pushups on a busy sidewalk where people are trying to walk

s/road/sidewalk

Of course there are places (many of them in the US) where a road or street exists but no sidewalk so you have to walk, bicycle or run on it.

Why not choose another route to drive where you are not endangering cyclists? Why not choose one of the many other ways to get where you are going so that you don't have to be in other people's way? Why not relax and realize that having to slow down your vehicle for 30 seconds in order to pass a group of cyclists safely is an incredibly minor inconvenience? I can keep going but I think you get the point. We live in a society where we share some resources with other people. Sometimes that causes contention. Sometimes when I'm walking on a sidewalk I'll come up on a parent pushing one of those double strollers slower than I am walking. I find it slightly annoying because they are in my way. But I am also an adult who realizes that the world does not in fact revolve around my desires, so I slow down and wait for an opportunity to walk around them, smiling politely while I do.
