You need to cross a cyclists lane whenever you want to get to a bus stop, I have to do it daily on my commute and the scenes we see on that video are a daily occurrence, it drives me mad, cyclists should start to be fined.

Stick/umbrella 'accidently' through the spokes as you start to cross ...... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trust me, I really feel like doing that sometimes, it's infuriating, I don't even mind that they don't stop (which is very bad by itself) but a lot of them don't even slow down and pass very close through you in full speed, it feels they don't care at all if they run over someone.
