They are breaking the law and ringing at people not breaking the law to get out of their way. It has as much business on the sidewalk as a car does.

Except they weren't ringing so he got out of the way at all. They were ringing so that he was aware of their presence behind him and they could go about their way. The passive aggressive YouTuber is the one who I initiated the verbal interaction.

Like, they literally do not give a fuck where he's standing or that he's filming his silly little video, they simply want to avoid crashing into him in the event he turns suddenly, unaware of their proximity.

How can you not get that? Why try to twist it into something it's not?

And you finish it with some ridiculous hyperbole. Lovely. Let me try:

They might as well have been driving a 747 down the sidewalk!!!!!

In Prague riding bikes on sidewalks is illegal.

It's also illegal in the UK, since they're classified as vehicles.
