Car filmed driving in Brisbane bike lane, swearing at a cyclist

If this motorist captured on film driving in a Brisbane bike lane is not bad enough, what they then said to a cyclist in their way is mind-boggling.

A VIDEO has emerged of a man in a car driving down a bike lane yelling at a cyclist to “f---king move please”.

The video, titled “Stanley St Bikeway — cyclists please share the road” and posted to Reddit, shows a car beeping as it drives up behind a stationary cyclist in the newly completed bike lane on Stanley Street in Brisbane.

The front seat passenger then opens his door and gets yells “Can you f**king move please (inaudible).”

Another man’s voice can be heard saying “This is a bike lane though,” as the cyclist moves her bike.

The passenger then says something else, gets back into his car and turns left.

A camera attached to the cyclists bike reads 7.54am September 20, with three lanes of peak hour traffic also clear in the video next to the bike lane, including many vehicles indicating they are about to turn left from their respective lane.

Commenting under the post, Reddit users, overall, agreed the car driver was in the wrong.

“How the f--k can people be THAT dumb?” one user wrote.

“Surely nobody in their right mind could be driving along Stanley St and decide ‘Hey that new separate lane with green paint and the bicycles painted on it looks like an option.’”

Some blamed both the cyclist and the driver, while others had a go at motorists in general.

“Car drivers are the worst road users on average,” another Reddit user commented.

The reason why cyclists love this suburb

“Using the phone, driving at night without lights on, not indicating, running reds, tailgating, riding too close to cyclists, raging in traffic … and we are forced to spend all our tax money on creating roads so they can selfishly use their portable lounge rooms as transport.”

While some other commentators agreed both cyclists and drivers could be in the wrong at times.

“The narrative is that there are c — kheads in both. Anecdotal evidence is rubbish and only exists to incite anger against whatever group you are trying to stop,” a user wrote.

The video comes on the heels of another one taken close to the same intersection and posted on Reddit earlier this week.

In that recording, titled “Stanley St Bikeway, $100mil well spent,” a group of cyclists is shown riding in car lanes, right next to the two-way Stanley St cycling lanes.

In ongoing online arguments, bike riders and motorists have debated over whether the group of cyclists had a right to be on the road when it was next to a bike lane, with others saying it was legal as they were about to turn.

The two-way bike lane, which opened in July, was the final stage of the Brisbane City Council’s $100 million bikeway project.

The final stage, named the Woolloongabba Bikeway, involved establishing cycle ways through Stanley St between Ipswich Rd, Woolloongabba and Dock St in South Brisbane and through Annerley Rd between Stanley St, Woolloongabba and Gladstone Rd, Dutton Park.

The 2.5km Woolloongabba Bikeway connects to the now completed Kangaroo Point Bikeway, delivering a cross-city cycling link between the city’s south and the CBD.

The final stage delivered shared through and left-turn traffic lanes to the freeway on Stanley St.
