We haven't quite got to that strangely familiar ''Some of my best friends are cyclists but....'' yet.

And yet the OP shows a complete a lack of empathy or understanding in so many posts across the forum...

I find that's the line trotted out when a motorist has tried to drive through me rather than overtake safely, and I've dared to ask them for a bit more room next time. It means "I have a BSO with flat tyres at the back of my shed"

Me to, and I am happy to confess (I've done it before) that when in the car, I dislike motorcyclists and find a few cyclists frustrating....even annoying (very few thankfully)3 out of 7 apply to me - and I don't do Cosplay, Gamer, Death Metal, or Peter Andre.
However, if I were not a cyclist and able to recognise those few as exceptional, I would likely group them in the same, slightly narrow looking box that I have on my mental mantelpiece with the words "weirdos that i just don't get" written across the lid.

A clubmate of mine got left-hooked by a bloke in a BMW going into a cafe car park. When the car parked up it turned out to be a another fellow club member, who had his bike in the boot and was going for a ride.

I've learned to be philosophical about it, because I don't want to spend my life arguing. I don't really care if people hate cyclists anymore. As long as they don't endanger me on the roads, they can hate me as much as they like. When colleagues try to give me the old "I'm not one of these people who hates cyclists, but...." I just go "Great. Good for you!"

My elderly mum complained about 2 cyclists riding 2 abreast.
I explained that it was easier for me to pass them than if they were strung out along the road .She didnt appear to be convinced.
Amazing thing is in their younger days both my parents were cyclists riding on fixed.

That's incredibly common, to the extent that cabbies in London are playing with their phones in traffic to take a picture of a cyclist in primary at a junction and captioning "Look at this idiot!!"
It's insane. The cabbies are angry about congestion with the CSHs so they're anxious to find incriminating pictures of cyclists which seem to be mostly just pictures of cyclists doing not a single freaking thing wrong.
