ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bike rage

Okay kiddo, bike rage is when someone gets really mad while riding their bike. Sometimes people get mad because they feel like someone else on a bike is doing something wrong or not following the rules.

Imagine you and your friend are both riding bikes down the street. Your friend cuts in front of you without warning and you have to brake hard to avoid hitting them. You might feel angry because they didn't follow the rule to signal before turning.

When someone experiences bike rage, they may shout, make angry gestures or even become aggressive towards other bikers. This is not nice and is not a safe way to behave on the road.

It's important to remember that bike rage is not okay and we should always try to stay calm and respectful while riding our bikes. We should also make sure to follow the rules of the road to keep ourselves and others safe.
