I’m certain this must be the case for everyone, yet there is no illogical hate for other car drivers … but cyclists… it’s all their fault, entitled pavement riding red light jumpers …
When I commute by bike it’s motorists that are holding me up & inconveniencing me a lot more than me doing the same thing to them. I regularly overtake one to two hundred vehicles on my way to work. I suppose it’s not surprising that they get frustrated sat stationary in their steel boxes watching all the cyclists cruise past.
