    “Cyclists can be dangerous (road hazard/traffic hazard) and annoying, rude and disrespectful but they don’t…”

    Sorry but no, you’re absolutely off-base. Cyclists are forced to bend over backwards in a world optimized for sociopaths to rage around in 4000lb+ murder machines, and short of literally killing someone there are few or no consequences if they screw up.

    Cyclists are not the root cause of the problem here. Horrific infrastructure and car drivers certainly are, though.

      We need better infrastructure where it would be safer for cyclists too. Car drivers aren’t ALWAYS the problem nor are the Cyclists. But having a combination of the two on some US roads / streets is insanity sometimes. Anyways, I am not here to argue.

      Take care and be safe out there , whether You’re a driver or a rider.
