That's not "for absolutely no reason". Some cyclists make a bad name for the rest.

Edit: Oh my goodness, you guys. I'm not saying hate for cyclists is justified, that I hate all cyclists, or that "all cyclists do x". Some cyclists ride like they have a death wish. So do some drivers. Anyone, regardless of their vehicle, who is willing to put their life in my hands is someone I want to stay far the fuck away from.

Yeah I know an A-hole driver so all drivers must be A**holes.

No some people just don't have good reason.

You can say ass on the internet bud, it’s ok.

I think the thread was titled poorly. Anything that gets a lot of hate usually has some sort of reason, even if it may not be justifiable.

Downvoted for saying the truth. Most cyclist I met here are absolutely jerks, they drive not even on the sidelines - no, they fucking drive in the mid of the road and if you try to surpass they move to the left.

For some it’s not their fault they are a bit of a nuisance obviously (those who cycle near the sidewalks, who signal were they are going etc), the cyclist infastructure is non existent here
