I think this abuse of cyclists, both by random drivers and Daily Wail writers, actually reveals their feelings of guilt.
They know that, whatever the journey, really and truly, they probably don't really have an excuse for using a car for it. If they can find an excuse - any excuse, however weak - for hating cyclists, they also have a reason for not being one, and that helps to assuage their guilt.
Doesn't help you much, JP, I know. But there's a bit of amateur psychology for you to think about...
